JEFFERSON HIGHWAY TRAVEL GUIDE

The historic Jefferson Highway is an international highway that runs from Winnipeg, Canada down through Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, to New Orleans, Louisiana. There are some parts of Arkansas that were also part of the historic route. It was created by the Jefferson Highway Association, which was originally founded in 1915.

The Jefferson Highway, also known as “The Pines to the Palms Highway,” is a historic vacation route that is going through a tourism rebirth and it’s exciting for travelers and destinations alike!
