Description

US Highway 20 used to be designated a federal highway in 1926. For the first half of the 20 th century, it used to be a very powerful east-west road across northern Iowa, extending from the Mississippi to the Missouri River. The road connected 13 counties, four major metropolitan areas, and lots of smaller communities along its route. Fortunately, the historic two-lane road remains almost completely intact and may also be driven much as travelers did in years gone by. Along Iowas Historic Highway 20 celebrates this sort of travel, illustrated by more than 200 antique postcards that show the personality of the road: town and city scenes, rural vistas, rivers, bridges, and historic sites. To not be forgotten are the tourist courts, hotels, diners, and gas stations that made commute imaginable.
