Cross country US 20 traveler Bryan Farr made such an impression on a small Woodbury County town last June that they invited him back this summer. Cushing now has the Old 20 Community Development Corporation.
I tagged along that day, helping explore old pavement and a really really rough Correctionville Road. In two years I tackled significant lengths of three old highways in Iowa: End to end on the Lincoln Highway, the Newton-to-Iowa-City segment of the River-to-River Road, and old US 20 in assorted segments. Perhaps other towns can be inspired by Farr’s much greater work in promoting the old highway.
