Route Description
As of today, much of the Trail is in disrepair and signs are missing or nearly obscured. Yet, some still exist. One sign still stands on US 68 in Perryville, Kentucky. You can see it if you are approaching Perryville on US 68 traveling west, as it is at the intersection of US 68, US 150, and KY 52. Another Lincoln Heritage Trail sign is located on US 60 in Frankfort, and you can see it if you're traveling east just past the interchange with US 421 and KY 676. Another sign is on Alternate US 60 near the Grindstead Drive / I-64 interchange in Louisville. These signs are well over 20 years old. They have not been replaced as Kentucky has moved from the old painted signs to Type III reflective signs. Some counties along the Trail have made efforts to restore signs and markers, but overall the Trail is somewhat difficult to follow under modern conditions.
In Illinois, the Trail includes Illinois Route 155, part of Illinois Route 1, Illinois Route 33 and Illinois Route 97 (New Salem, Il area) and Illinois Route 125 (Old Beardstown Post Road).
In Indiana, it includes Indiana State Road 62 and Indiana State Road 441.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
