Oops. I’m thinking of SR15 between New Paris and Goshen.

I did not know that. Just to make sure we have the right location, this photo was taken just north of the Church of Christ, just north of Goshen. Brenneman Missionary Church is also close by.

Interesting. There used to be a Sinclair gas station on the point where the roads intersect here.

“”Marker Hunters”“ alert::
A “one of a kind” Lincoln Highway Historical Marker is in Warsaw, Indiana on the S/W corner of Perry & N. Lake Street. Its GPS is:
41.243003,-85.860236.

Your just one photo session away from being up-loaded to http://www.hmdb.org .
Click on “Add-a-Marker” at the top of each HMdb page to enter the info and photos.
Does anyone have photos of the Warsaw marker being installed -or- dedicated?
(If so, add them to the HMdb marker page after it has be established.)

What caused the Lincoln Highway route to be changed in Indiana? ?

Here are a few items that may lead your “Historical Thoughts” to fun, adventure, and expanded information:

1.Track the “Lincoln Highway” (and perhaps the “Dixie and Dixie B” highways through Indiana as you find the given ‘Historical Markers’ for them.

Once you found the ‘historical markers’:: photograph, note their location (GPS) and up-load them on “Historical Markers Data Base” (www.hmdb.org – - HMdb.) You then have valued material for the public as you tag them on you blog with given stories.

2. The following is another project that would help the public and add “Historical Fun”! ! ! (By the way it is called “”Marker Hunting”" – - finding, documenting, photographing, and up-loading to HMdb.) With HMdb all is free and there are no limits on the number of contributed: Photos, Text, Comments, and Links. Video can be add by using “Add-a-Link”.

The ‘new historical marker program’ of the Indiana Historical Bureau for the “Indiana Heritage Cemeteries” is at: http://www.in.gov/history/2669.htm In Elkhart County – there are nine (9) -and- in Koscuisko Co. – there are fourty-four (44). ((Use ‘find a grave’ web site to help you locate the cemeteries.))

Enjoy the ‘HUNT’ ! ! ! (Anyone can join in.)

Rick, Thanks for your comment. Yes, the museum is interesting. A lot of neat displays. A good place to watch trains, too. I have been to the museum maybe a half dozen times through the years. Tim Ashley

Click on “Add-a-Marker”, log on (use any name that you wish), and follow the ‘fill as you go’ boxes.

I uaually copy the text in my word processor to have ready for the ‘text section’. A quick copy and paste can be used.

The markers GPS can be easily gotten by using: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html
If you have trouble, e-mail HMdb and one of the editors will work with you.
After the editors are done (in a few short days), it will be published for all to enjoy.

Relax with it and have the fun of the inter-net world.
