Description

In this online exhibition from the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, students will learn about the new communities that grew up around America's rapidly expanding network of roads during the 1930s. Clusters of family-owned tourist cabins, restaurants, and gasoline stations kept long-distance motorists fed, rested, and ready to go.
