The Historic Traveler Archives A Collection of Great Writing That Takes You There
"Along the Devil's Backbone" Along the Devil's Backbone The Natchez trace once provided the best route through Mississippi to Tennessee—if you could avoid its rouges, rascals and cold-blooded killers. "Arch Deluxe" Building artful bridges in Oregon. "Hoosier Doozies" Indiana's automotive museum. "Henry Ford’s Time Machine" Michigan's Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. "The Maine Loop" Four New England villages in 65 miles, a summer driving tour that takes you across 270 years. "The Stanley Steamer" A museum in Maine recalls the days when steam-driven automobiles where the wave of the future. "Still Going Greyhound" From the Hupmobile to the national bus service. "Road to Yesterday" Route 66, which turns 75 this year, was "America’s Main Street" and its "Mother Road" until interstates replaced the last bit of it in 1984. But the states that it ran through refuse to let Route 66 fade away. "West on the National Road" It's only 128 miles from Cumberland, Maryland, to Wheeling, West Virginia, but this route along the country's first Interstate traverses a surprising cross-section of American history.
