The World’s Biggest Yard Sale takes place along the National Road from dawn to dusk on May 28, through June 1, 2008. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson envisioned this road across the country from Maryland to the Mississippi River, but they never through it would host a yard sale. After Congress authorized building the road, it became the nation's first federally funded interstate. The road was the corridor that moved people and goods across the United States, and today it hosts a yard sale of epic proportions.
Portions of the National Road can still be seen while driving along U.S. Route 40 through the lower third of Ohio from Bridgeport to the Indiana border in Preble County.
History buffs can follow the red, white and blue markers that designate the National Road Scenic Byway.
Visitors will find all kinds of treasures as people who reside along the National Road put their antiques, furniture, glassware, pottery and collectibles for sale at roadside stands along all 824 miles of the roadway in Ohio. There's even fresh produce available at farmer's markets.
Ohioans are fortunate to have the National Road Museum, located right here at 8850 East Pike in Norwich, Ohio. The Museum tells the history of this great road that passes through six states including ten counties in Ohio. The road that helped build America is also featured in a book by Glenn Harper and Doug Smith that’s available at the Museum. For more information call 800-752-2602 or visit www.ohiohistory.org/places/natlroad.
The Springfield area in western Ohio is filled with antique and specialty shops. National Road visitors are invited to stop and visit and tour their local gem, "The Westcott House," designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The home, completed in 1908, was the only Prairie Style home he designed in Ohio, and recently received $5.3 million dollars in renovations.
On Saturday, May 31, the Westcott House will celebrate Frank Lloyd Wright's 141st birthday with a party featuring a silent auction of travel packages to world famous Frank Lloyd Wright sites across the country. The Bob Gray Orchestra will provide music for dancing. For more information call 937-327-9291.
