Taken from the intersection of Sam Krabill and what is now known as Cindell St.,
between East Canton and Robertsville, Ohio The road was paved in brick and
straightened just 4 years earlier. In the original photograph at the
University of Michigan, the road is seen much deeper into the mist than this
reproduction. It gives a great view of the road which has since been
reclaimed as farm land. Lincoln Highway Collection,

Cindell Street 2000, a brick section still in use. This road is one of the most valued pieces of the old Lincoln Highway to many members of the Lincoln Highway Association. Most of the residents of this road respect the historic value of the road despite it's slowly deteriorating condition. It was from this location, that the Webmaster first laid eyes on an original section of the Lincoln Highway while motorcycle riding, and a passion for the road was born. In 1928, a concrete marker was posted by the Boy Scouts at about this location.

1924 - West Tuscarawas Street in Canton, Ohio, near the
intersection of Bellflower, was in the process of being widened. Note how
the trolley tacks were going to be in the center of the road. An
example of this in it's finished state can be seen in the comparison near
Perry Drive. The trolley tracks in the center of the road made it possible
to have a 5th turn lane as seen in the bottom picture.
