The evolution of Pennsylvania’s road system will be discussed by Jeff Kitsko July 27 at the Lincoln Highway Experience transportation museum in Unity.

The program, “Pennsylvania Highways: From Dirt Trails to Concrete Roads,” is set for 7 p.m. at the museum along Route 30 eastbound, southeast of Latrobe.

Seating is limited and registration is required by calling 724-879-4241 or visiting LHHC.org and selecting “What We Do” and then “Programs and Speakers.”

The $10 fee includes a slice of pie and a cold beverage.

Kitsko will draw upon information and images he has compiled on the website — pahighways.com — that he began in 1997.

Those attending the program will be required to wear face coverings and will have their temperatures taken in keeping with health guidelines during the covid-10 pandemic.

The museum, operating under social distancing guidelines since June 8, features a restored diner and tourist cabin from the 1930s. It also is filled with vintage images and displays about the Lincoln Highway, which mostly follows Route 30 across Pennsylvania.

Tours are available 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, with the last visitors admitted at 3 p.m.

The museum also serves as the headquarters of the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor, which encourages travel and exploration along a 200-mile stretch of the highway crossing six counties in southern Pennsylvania.
