Nebraska Gearing up for Lincoln Highway Centennial

2013 has begun, and that means a beginning for the year-long celebration of the centennial of the Lincoln Highway, America's first trans-continental highway. Nebraska's Lincoln Highway Scenic and Historic Byway released the official 2013 Centennial Travel Guide.
