In Search of...U.S. Route 20 in Ohio. Like the Lincoln Highway would generally become the route of U.S. 30 in Ohio, the auto trail known as the Chicago-Buffalo Road would generally become the route of U.S. 20. Michael G. Buettner |

In Search of...The National Old Trails Road in Ohio This auto trail was the successor to the Historic National Road, which was opened across Ohio in the mid-1800s.

In Ohio, parts of those trails would generally be succeeded by U.S. Route 40 and Interstate Route 70. Michael G. Buettner |

In Search of...The 1924 Detour Route As early as 1919, when the U.S. Army Transcontinental Convoy passed through Ohio, a route through East Palestine, Columbiana, Salem, Alliance, and Louisville was preferred over the traditional Lincoln Highway route by way of East Liverpool, Lisbon, and Minerva. Michael G. Buettner |

In Search of...The Marion Way The Marion Way was an auto trail that was created by commercial interests from Lima, Kenton, and Marion after the Lincoln Highway Association revised the "proclaimed" route of September 1913. The Marion Way would later become part of the Harding Highway, also known as U.S. Route 30-South. Michael G. Buettner |

In Search of...The Yellowstone Trail in Ohio. The Yellowstone Trail was conceived as a regional route with origins in South Dakota, but was soon charted from the Atlantic to the Pacific by crossing the northernmost part of Ohio, in a corridor later shared by U.S. Route 20. Michael G. Buettner |
 |
In Search of...U.S. Route 50 in Ohio. This is one of four transcontinental federal routes which passes east to west across Ohio. However, unlike Routes 20, 30, and 40, it was never closely tied to a named auto trail in this state. Michael G. Buettner |
