Transportation History

Nearby water gaps have made this an important transporation corridor for thousands of years. Native American trails, 18th century military roads, the Pennsylvania Road, the Chambersburg and Bedford Turnpike, the Lincoln Highway, US 30, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike have all followed a similar route along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River between Everett and Bedford.

Marker is at the intersection of Lincoln Highway (U.S. 30) and Fance Lane, on the right when traveling east on Lincoln Highway.
