Lincoln Highway Buy Way sales on weekend of August 10-12
August 10-12 marks the 19th annual Lincoln Highway Buy Way Yard Sales across the State of Ohio.
The historic Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental road for automobile travel in the United States, dedicated in 1913 and extending from New York City’s Times Square to San Francisco’s Lincoln Park. Combined, various routes across Ohio comprise over 400 miles today.
Past Buy Way sales have seen families, neighbors and groups of all kinds selling their wares from yards, porches, barns and garages; under tents and in open-air locations. A number of communities have group sales in public parks and other locations.
The idea began in 2005 and has spawned a variety of activities from Convoy, near the Indiana state line, to East Liverpool on the Ohio River across from West Virginia.
The sales will run from Thursday, August 10 through Saturday, August 12. In Allen County, from west to east, the primary route of the Lincoln Highway was from Delphos to Gomer, Cairo and Beaverdam. An earlier version ran from Delphos through Elida and Lima. It continued through the Hardin County communities of Ada, Dola, Dunkirk and Forest. In Hancock County, the primary route included New Stark and Williamstown.
