lincolnbustsMoss Markers with Lincoln Busts North of Scranton

Two busts of President Abraham Lincoln which replaced the original busts created in 1924 but destroyed by vandals 40 years ago. The busts were originally placed on markers north of Scranton when the Lincoln Highway was paved in 1924 as the first transcontinental highway in the United States. In July 2001, 125 people, including some from all over the U.S., attended a rededication program unveiling the new busts. The markers are on the National Register of Historic Places.
