Few roads can match Route 20s beauty; history; or contribution to New Yorks vitality. In 1926; Route 20 became a federal highway and evolved into New Yorks foremost east-west road. But unlike most early highways; it has survived almost completely intact. The story of Route 20 is told through more than 200 vintage postcards showing scenes from the Shaker communities in Columbia County to the Lake Erie Shore. The postcards show the personality of the road: main streets; the Finger Lakes; and scenic vistas. Not to be forgotten are the tourist courts; hotels; diners; and gas stations that made travel possible.
