Lincoln Highway 
Geneva played an important role in connecting the cities of the Fox River Valley to the Lincoln Highway. The Illinois Lincoln Highway is a 179 mile National Scenic Byway that stretches across the state.

Geneva’s lively downtown offered travelers something for their every need. Over a dozen service stations and garages, first class accommodations at Hotel Geneva and numerous restaurants and shops.
The Lincoln Highway Interpretive Gazebo is located in front of Geneva’s City Hall at 22 S. First St. One in a series of 16, the gazebo features display panels depicting exciting stories.
