Along Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Highway by Richard W. Funk – A Postcard History Journey

Before GPS and superhighways, there was the Lincoln Highway—America’s first transcontinental road for automobiles. Stretching from New York City to San Francisco, it invited motorists to discover the country from behind the wheel. And nowhere was the journey more scenic, diverse, or full of quirky charm than in Pennsylvania.

In Along Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Highway, award-winning journalist and photographer Richard W. Funk offers a nostalgic look at the roadside culture, attractions, and landscapes that made this stretch of road an adventure all its own. From bustling cities to quiet mountain towns, and flatlands to foothills, Pennsylvania's portion of the highway tells the story of a changing nation—and the rise of American car culture.

Explore iconic stops like:

• Bill’s Place, a famous roadside watering hole

• The legendary S.S. Grand View Ship Hotel in Bedford County, which stood high above the Juniata Valley and served as a must-see marvel until it was sadly lost to fire in 2001

• Vintage gas stations, diners, tourist cabins, and roadside oddities

Illustrated with over 200 black-and-white postcards and photographs, this book celebrates the era when "getting there" was just as exciting as the destination.
