Just thought I would stick another link to the Lincoln from our end of the state. This is Faulkner's Service and Filling Station......opened for business in June, 1931, a mile west of Bourbon, Indiana. This would have opened about 3 years after the Lincoln Highway was constructed across the back corner of the farm. This may be one of the more intact examples of a filling station from the early Lincoln Highway days in our county. I've always admired this little building, but never knew its past until just recently. Sweeeet.

Keep the Lincoln Highway stuff coming. I would not have guessed that to be a gas station.
