Summary

The Seedling Mile is one of three initial sections of the Lincoln Highway built in 1915 in Nebraska as part of the Lincoln Highway Association's program to promote the construction of a paved transcontinental highway. It preserves early road construction techniques, and is the only known extant example left in the five states that constructed Seedling Miles.
