Military Convoy Centennial Tour
2019-09-13 | NV
The Lincoln Highway Association is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a tour commemorating the centennial of the 1919 Army convoy across the Lincoln Highway, arriving in Ely for an overnight stay on September 13.
The original convoy during the summer of 1919 was a monumental event in the history of the United States. On that convoy was a young army officer named Dwight Eisenhower, who learned many lessons as they crossed the country on the Lincoln Highway.

During the first two weeks of September 2019, they retrace the path of Eisenhower and the Army convoy. The tour begins near the White House in Washington, D.C. and travels at a leisurely pace, averaging under 200 miles daily, ending in San Francisco at the Lincoln Highway’s western terminus. Because of the historic nature of this tour, participants are welcome and encouraged to drive vintage vehicles from any era — military or civilian — as they please.
So look forward to seeing plenty of vintage vehicles – military or otherwise – around September 13 in Ely, and know that the drivers are retracing history! More info about the convoy can be found here: https://www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/tour/2019/
