Postlude - May 12, 2015 The trip locator map has finally been posted and can be accessed via the Map button at the top of this page. The Jefferson Highway in Oklahoma and the Dollarway in Arkansas were both focal points of the trip but both are pretty much lost in the over all trip map. Because of that, I've provided a separate map of the Oklahoma portion of the Jefferson Highway here and of the Dollarway here.

Prelude - April 23, 2015 To be completely honest, the Jefferson Highway Association doing the celebrating isn't really the same one that created the road. The first JHA was organized in November of 1915 to promote a road connecting Winnipeg, Manitoba, with New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm not sure when that organization ceased to exist but imagine it was shortly after the creation of Numbered US Highways in 1926. The current JHA was organized in April of 2012 to "work for and promote the preservation of the Jefferson Highway". That's the association that will be celebrating the road's centennial at their fourth annual conference being held, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, at the end of April and I'm going to be there. |
