America’s highways are not just roads that go from one place to another—they are an encyclopedia of America’s history. Highways connect communities, culture and natural wonders.  American roads cross mountains, navigate deserts and connect coastlines.  The Go Freight blog calls our highways “the soul of the nation.”  Come drive through history with us!
