A Traveler's Guide to the Historic National Road in Ohio

Yesterday, I recieved a copy of A Traveler's Guide to the Historic National Road in Ohio. It's a quite impressive production - 45 pages, glossy, full color, and is available free for the asking from the Ohio Historical Society, by sending an email to info@ohiohistory.org or by calling them, or can be picked up in person at the visitor centers at the ends of the state on I-70.

In addition to a more extensive backstory, the pamphlet includes full driving directions for following the extant portions of the Road in Ohio - the directions which are included in much briefer format at ohionationalroad.org.It identifies, from what I can tell, every extant stone bridge on the Road in Ohio.

Highly recommended.
