Four hundred and fifty designated miles of the Lincoln Highway, running west across Nebraska along the Platte.
- The route
- Lincoln Highway Scenic & History Byway, an All-American Road
- How long
- 450 miles end to end. The byway’s own record gives no suggested time, so we do not offer one — how many days this takes is yours to decide.
- How far apart
- Our stops on it sit within 251 miles of one another.
- Fees
- None to drive the byway itself; individual sites set their own.

In this corridor, and not in a guide yet
Listed so this page is not mistaken for a complete one.
- Grand Island — Between Omaha and Kearney. The Kearney guide lists it as a day trip; it has no guide of its own yet.
- Gothenburg — Keeps a Pony Express station on the same corridor, and is in no guide at all.
- Sidney and Kimball — The last hundred miles to the Wyoming line are in no guide, so this package stops at North Platte.
Where these facts come from
