The Barnstable Patriot
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration recently added 34 new National Scenic Byways and 15 All-American Roads to America's Byways collection, including The Old King’s Highway (Route 6A).
America's Byways are a distinctive collection of American roads, their stories, and treasured places. Under the National Scenic Byways Program, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation recognizes certain roads as National Scenic Byways or All-American Roads based on their archaeological, cultural, historical, natural, recreational, and scenic qualities.
"America's Byways are roads to the very heart and soul of America," said Chris Sieverdes, National Scenic Byway Foundation (NSBF) president. "Byways connect us to this country's beauty, history, and culture. As the National Voice of Scenic Byways and Roads, NSBF is excited to welcome these new designees, and we look forward to working with them, as well as those previously designated, to preserve our nation's past while looking towards the future for our grandchildren and their children."
