Gathering at the Seedling Mile sign in Malta.

A Commemorative mural in Creston, Illinois. This one commemorates a series of porcelain drinking fountains that were placed along the Lincoln Highway in Illinois only. They were a private memorial gift, granted with the requirement that the towns would install them in working order, and that the street would be re-named "Lincoln Way". Several were installed, some not.
