UPCOMING MEETING
EDUCATIONAL SERIES

June 4, 2013
People of the National Road
James K. Jeffrey
The National Road was the first major highway in the United States built by the federal government. Construction began in 1811 in Cumberland, Maryland on the road that would, by 1841, stretch more than 600 miles between Baltimore and Vandalia, Illinois. The National Road served as a gateway to the West for thousands of settlers. Did your family take this road west or stop along the way? Today, much of the old route is followed by U.S. highway 40.
