Joe Belcastro posted four photos with the comment: "Between Ashland Ohio and Mansfield."

Randy Keys: Exactly where is this? I grew up in Ashland and never heard about it.

Joe Belcastro: Randy Keys if you are traveling North on 42 from Mansfield turn left on 1688 and it's on left a few miles out. You can't miss it.

On the same road a little closer to Mansfield.

This is another example of where today's US-30 takes a much more direct route across the country than the Lincoln Highway originally took. The goal of the highway back then was to connect existing towns rather than a speedy trip across the country. So the original route probably went from Wooster to Ashland and then to Mansfield.

But why was it on 1688 and Windsor Road? Because the Black Fork Mohican River was not drained as well as it is today. Or else there was a mill dam that has since been removed.
