Are you an expert on DeKalb history?
Time to show off your knowledge!
We all know and love our stretch of the Lincoln Highway, but in DeKalb, this stretch of road had two different local names before the national initiative for the coast-to-coast highway began in the early 1900s.
So, what did Barb City call the road before 1913? Bonus points if you can come up with both names!
A big thank you to Rob at the DeKalb County History Center for delving into our local records to find this information! We'll post the correct response on Monday, September 28.
But you can find out early, by coming on Saturday, September 26, when retired history teacher and docent Karl Bruhn presents the History of the Lincoln Highway! This program meets at 11:00 a.m. in the library's lower level.
