Illinois Lincoln Highway Interpretive Murals

55 West Lincoln Highway, Cortland This mural vividly conveys the early era of road construction in Cortland. An image of local area and the crew that were contracted to supply gravel for the pavement project are the designs main elements.

Corner of Lincoln Highway and Seventh Street, DeKalb A detailed image of travelers in a 1913 Stevens-Duryea, a high-end touring car of its time, is the centerpiece of this mural. The mural’s border is cut and painted to represent the City of DeKalb’s memorial brick arch.

240 West Main Street, Genoa Depicted in the mural is a road dragging contest during the Good Roads Movement in the early 1900’s. A “sled” being dragged by a team of horses to smooth the road is the featured component used to tell the story.

127 North Third Street, Malta The mural gives striking detail of paving Lincoln Highway’s first seedling mile, strategically located in Malta. Strong images of men doing the cement work and early road construction equipment are featured in the mural.

302 Willow Street, Maple Park This mural depicts the development of the Lincoln Highway and how it changed the look of America as roadside gasoline stations sprung up along the route in every town to accommodate motorists. By the 1920’s this filling station in Maple Park was a welcome site to drivers.
