The Indiana State Byways Bicentennial Passport, containing routes for each of Indiana’s seven Scenic Byways, will be available on March 31st. The project is an officially sanctioned Indiana Bicentennial Legacy project and it will commemorate Indiana’s historic transportation corridors. The participating byways are: the Indiana National Road, the Wabash River Scenic Byway, the Whitewater Canal Scenic Byway, the Historic Michigan Road, the Indiana Lincoln Highway Byway, the Ohio River Scenic Byway and Indiana’s Historic Pathways. Scenic Byways pass through nearly fifty Indiana counties and account for over 1,000 miles of Hoosier Highways. The 32 page passport booklet contains a variety of stops from each byway and participants will be able to receive a stamp for checking into these stops.
The Passport Booklet is a tool to explore scenic and historic resources in Indiana. All seven Scenic Byways display beautiful paths and historic transportation routes that tell the story of how Indiana was built. In Northern Indiana the passport will feature the Lincoln Highway and Historic Michigan Road Byways. It is a road trip 200 years in the making!
Passports will be available on March 31st for a $2 suggested donation at each designated passport stop.
