Jefferson
Highway today
(the
re-awakening of an International Treasure)
History on
Display: Museums and businesses all along the route are finding and
displaying Pine to Palm Highway artifacts. Many are already established
and new ones are popping up regularly. Visit one! They would love to
meet you and help you get to know The Highway’s history.
Sociability
Runs: A day ride or a two week drive on the “Jeff” is a great
way to experience true motoring history. A Sociability Run on the
Jefferson Highway is a great way to keep the tradition. If
there isn’t one in your area yet, help get it started. We can help
you.
Murals:
Talented artists are re-creating the motoring history of the Jefferson
Highway by painting murals on barns and buildings for motorists to
enjoy. A mural in your town would be fantastic; find an artist and a
building and make a huge contribution to the Pine to Palm Highway.
New Maps:
The first comprehensive maps of the Pine to Palm Highway since 1926 are
now available for free on this site. You can now find the roads in your
area and enjoy the history of a great transcontinental road building
enterprise.
Motorcade:
A Mapping Expedition on the
entire length of the Pine to Palm Highway
is going to take place this November and you
can be part of it. Join
the Jefferson Highway Facebook page
or ask for our e-mail blog and follow the adventure on a daily basis.
How
you can join the party…
Awareness:
Tell your friends, wear your JH apparel, put up a JH banner, help
organize a motorcycle ride or an antique car rally, write a Letter to
the Editor, send a Jefferson Highway postcard to a friend or join a JH
interest group such as our Jefferson Highway Facebook page.
Surprise:
Most people who live or do business along the Jefferson Highway don’t even know that
they are on a piece of history. You can tell them and make them happy!
Residents and businesses are proud to be on the JH and they become
passionate boosters.
Plan an end
to end trip on the Pine to Palm Highway: Travel from one end to the
other at least once in your lifetime. Put the Jefferson Highway trip on
your ‘bucket list’. Who will be the first person to organize a
modern day ‘All the way Motorcade’?
There are
numerous ways to join the Jefferson Highway family. Pick one and come
for a drive…
It
may be an old Highway but modern technology is making it famous.
