The National Road is the most historic transportation corridor in the United States; it is the road that built this nation. The National Road was initially nothing more than a buffalo trace through the wilderness in pre-revolutionary America. This path however, proved strategic for a developing nation.

It was one of the first colonial routes traveled by early settlers. George Washington and Daniel Boone were among its first travelers. Now, you can relive the spirit of a growing America by traveling the road and visiting the historic homes, toll houses, and scenic vistas. Witness, firsthand, the struggles and rewards of a new nation.
