The byway captures America from past to present; it combines history that predates Ohio's statehood with how America changed and grew with the advent of automobile travel. An early trace of America's history is in Lisbon. Here you can visit the Old Stone House -- one of the earliest (preserved) homes built on the frontier.

Women dressed as first ladies give tours of the museum/library that features America's first ladies and their many contributions.
