Historic National Road
"Cumberland Road", "National Pike", "U.S.40" or "Two Lane Black Top": all names that most Americans recognize as "The Main Street of America"; our National Historic Road.
As more and more travelers turn their backs on the mind-numbing blur of the fast and furious internet highway system, they are rediscovering the bounty of scenic America that runs quietly parallel to Interstate 70. From the Colonial Era inns of Zane Gray to Cruising Era drive-ins, The All American Road truly is kaleidoscope of Americana. Whether you ride a Harley or a Vespa, drive a Scion or a '56 Chevy; take the road less traveled and reconnect to your heritage.
All-American Roads and National Scenic Byways
Congress and the Secretary of Transportation designated forty-five U.S roads to join the ranks of All-American Roads (AAR) and National Scenic Byways (NSB). This designation is part of a grass-roots movement to commemorate, promote and conserve selected classic American roads.
Since its establishment in 1991, the National Scenic Byways Program has funded over two thousand federal and state byway projects throughout the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Distric of Columbia.
