Cabin Camp Project

The Indiana Lincoln Highway Association is seeking information, images and ephemera dealing with the early cabin camps on the Lincoln Highway.  These precursors to the motel were also referred to as cabin courts, cottage camps, auto camps and courts, tourist camps and motor courts. We are interested in the history and disposition of these camps, and images from photographs, postcards, matchbooks and other advertising ephemera.

Traffic roundabout

Kosciusko County’s very first traffic roundabout is on the old Lincoln Highway. It opened Nov. 22nd on Warsaw’s west side at the intersection with Fox Farm Road. In Warsaw Old U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) is known as Lake Street. Traffic roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and safety, and eliminate the maintenance associated with stop lights. Another roundabout is scheduled to be built in 2012 at the intersection of Old 30 and Zimmer Road not far from the one already in place.
