Ribbons Across the Land: Building the U.S. Interstate Highway System
September 22, 2016 – February 11, 2017

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 on June 29 of that year, establishing an interstate highway system in the United States. On the 60th anniversary of this historic event, the Linda Hall Library will mount an exhibition on the history of the engineering and construction of our nation’s interstate highway system.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Black & Veatch Foundation, KCP&L, the Terracon Foundation, and Linda Hall Library Foundation Donors.

Gas, Food, Lodging
September 22, 2016 – February 11, 2017

Essayist E.B. White once observed that, “everything in life is somewhere else and you get there in a car.” For anyone traveling the most fabled of 2-lane highways, Route 66, everything in life was somewhere else and could be encountered along the 2,448 miles of that road.  For more than four decades, Route 66 was the fastest and most interesting way to travel from Chicago to Santa Monica through the American Southwest.  Through the decades it came to symbolize the romance of the open road. Gas, Food, Lodging will recall the story of Route 66 from dirt road to cultural myth with all of the stops along the way.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Black & Veatch Foundation, KCP&L, the Terracon Foundation, and Linda Hall Library Foundation Donors.
