Bicentennial of the Historic National Road

America's first Interstate celebrates its 200-year anniversary this year. There is a 824 mile long yard sale planned for this historic event and bnbfinder.com has a great tour of Bed & Breakfasts along the route. Visit their website for all the details.

Just where is this road are we talking about? The road spans six states and was the brain-child of George Washington. It runs from Maryland to Illinois and there are many historic landmarks along the way. In 1806 it became a reality during Thomas Jefferson's administration and Congress approved our first federally funded highway.

You may ask, what does all this have to do with Bed & Breakfasts? You will find the answer at
bnbfinder.com . There are also special offers there where you can save money when making reservations by mentioning the Historic National Road Tour.
