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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
