Rural Americana in the Good Old Summertime


Mid-July I headed up to Ligonier, PA to pick-up my daughter from camp.  A long trip made more enjoyable by the sights along the historic Lincoln Highway- a part of Route 30 (the first road across America from New York City to San Francisco)


Town square in Ligonier, PA.  This town reminded me a bit of the lovely village of Clinton, NY near Utica.



An 1800's  log cabin church set in a cemetery.




Who doesn't love a covered bridge?  Always a worthy detour off the main road.

    How funny! I used to live right near there and my kids went to school in Ligonier. I have to say I prefer Virginia to Pennsylvania but Rt.30 is a nice drive.
