Lincoln Highway in Greene County, Iowa, Historic highway section in Greene County, United States
The Lincoln Highway through Greene County features multiple property listings, including abandoned dirt roads, paved sections, and historic bridges spanning the landscape.
Established in 1913, this section of highway formed part of the first transcontinental automobile route connecting New York City to San Francisco across the United States.
