If you want to be in the know about what’s going on at the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor/Lincoln Highway Experience, you’ve come to the right place!
Lincoln Highway Talk - Saturday January 18, 2025 - 1:00pm
The Lincoln Highway Experience Museum will be hosting its first installment of the 2025 Lincoln Highway Talks lecture series on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 1:00pm. The 2025 series – titled “Diners, Dive-Ins, and Drives” – will focus on various roadside businesses popular during the hey-day of the Lincoln Highway such as local eateries, public parks and pools, drive-in movie theaters, and other attractions.
As an introduction to this series theme, our first talk of the year will highlight regional roadside eateries which predate the Lincoln Highway, such as the Compass Inn and the Johnston House. To present this first topic, the Lincoln Highway Experience welcomes Theresa Gay Rohall - Executive Director of the Compass Inn Museum and Ligonier Valley Historical Society in Laughlintown, PA – to present the history of stagecoach stops, taverns, and dining in western Pennsylvania during the nineteenth century. These historic eateries were instrumental in the westward development of the United States and laid the groundwork for American travel which would culminate in the development of the nation’s modern road systems, such as the Lincoln Highway. Theresa’s presentation will highlight the prominence of these stagecoach stops and what the dining experience was like for passengers and guests during the height of eastern American stagecoach travel.
Lincoln Highway SupperMarket - CANCELLED for 2025
The Lincoln Highway Experience Museum will not be hosting SupperMarket in 2025.
As the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor (LHHC) moves into the new year, the Board of Directors has decided that our open-air live music should be suspended for the 2025 season as the organization moves through an exciting year of strategic planning.
In 2025, LHHC will be completing an organization-wide evaluation of our goals for the coming decade as we work to update our Management Action Plan and Interpretive Plan. These plans will determine the trajectory of our efforts as well as the projects, initiatives, and programs we aim to accomplish.
Additionally, with 2025 marking the 30th Anniversary of our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and America's 250th Birthday coming in 2026, we intend to spend this year planning some special events and programs for the community to commemorate these significant milestones. We also intend to spend this year reevaluating the format of our SupperMarket events in order to reach a broader audience from our community.
We hope to see you at the museum for our other 2025 events!
