How To Navigate Our Roadside Museum Display Directory The Roadside Museum Directory is divided into six pages, one for every county of the museum. Select a county and all of the museum's components for that county are listed along with a symbol for the type of exhibit(s) that can be found at each location. More detailed information about each symbol is available below.
		Roadside Museum Exhibit Symbol This symbol denotes that there is a visual display in or around the listed location. This is done through site markers, wall plaques, mall kiosks and interpretive waysides (some with audio components). Clicking this icon will present you with a picture of the location of the exhibit and a hint about what you will find there, or a question you can answer with the information presented at that exhibit.
		Mural Symbol This symbol denotes that there is a Lincoln Highway mural, painted on the outside of a building at that location. The murals not only reflect the Lincoln Highway, but also the community in which they are in. Artist Wayne Fettro of Elizabethtown was the muralists for many of the projects. Click this symbol to see a picture of each mural.
		"Pump Parade" Gas Pump Symbol This symbol denotes that there is a gas pump from our Pump Parade on display at that location. Why Gas pumps? The Lincoln Highway was this country's first coast-to-coast highway, stretching from New York City to San Francisco in 1913. Today, much of the historic Lincoln Highway follows Route 30 through Pennsylvania. "Fill'er Up" are the lost words from motorists at full-service mom and pop gas stations. Vintage gas pumps are a fanciful reminder of days gone by when service attendants rushed out to pump gas and clean the windshield! The pump chosen to be replicated for this project was a 1940 Bennett gas pump. The total size of the pump is 7 ½ feet high and it is made out of fiberglass. Click on the symbol to see a picture of that pump.
		Audio Description Symbol Some of the wayside exhibits feature a short audio description of the location of that exhibit. The people talking are residents of that area recalling their experiences and recollections of the early days of the Lincoln Highway. Click the icon to hear the audio from that exhibit. These mp3 audio files require a media player be installed in your computer to play the files. You can download a free audio player here. The files may take a while to load with dialup connections.
		Picture Yourself On The Lincoln Highway Symbol For a unique souvenir of your trip on the Lincoln Highway, you can have a picture of yourself in a vintage scene from bygone days.These freestanding exhibits are colored "cut-outs" of early Lincoln Highway-era photos. Visitors to the site can position themselves behind the cut-out for a photograph featuring your face! Interpretive information about the Lincoln Highway is also displayed on the wayside exhibit. Click the icon to see a picture of the exhibit.
