2024 Lincoln Higway Buy Way sales, August 8-9-10

August 8 through 10 marks the 20th annual Lincoln Highway Buy Way Yard Sales across the State of Ohio.

The historic Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental route for automobile travel in the United States, dedicated in 1913 and extending from New York City’s Times Square to San Francisco’s Lincoln Park.  Combined, various routes across Ohio comprise over 400 miles today.  

Past year’s sales have seen families, neighbors, and groups of all kinds selling their wares from yards, porches, barns and garages; under tents and in open-air locations.

This novel idea began in 2005 and has spawned a variety of activities from Convoy, near the Indiana state line, to East Liverpool on the Ohio River across from West Virginia. 

A number of communities have group sales in public parks and other locations. The sales will run from Thursday, August 8 through Saturday, August 10. 

In Hardin County, an earlier route went through Ada, Dola, Dunkirk and Forest.  Southern Hancock County communities on the Lincoln Highway from west to east include New Stark and Williamstown. In Allen County, the primary route ran through Delphos, Gomer, Cairo and Beaverdam, with an earlier route through Elida and Lima. Wyandot County communities along the route included Wharton, Kirby, Upper Sandusky and Nevada.
