The Indiana section of the Historic National Road was designated State Scenic Byway status in 1996, and National Scenic Byway status in 1998.
In 2002, the entire Historic National Road, through Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was designated an All-American Road for its historical and cultural significance. It became the longest byway traversing the greatest number of states to receive this honor.
Fees are $75 for car and driver, and $40 for each passenger, which includes all activities, entrance fees, and meals for the day. Pre-1960 vintage automobiles are preferred.
