America’s Interstate Highways

Seventy years ago, President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act, the law that funded the construction of the highways that changed how we live, work, and travel. Join Active Minds as we explore how the Interstate Highway System was built, its key routes, and the history behind its creation under President Eisenhower. We’ll also look at how these roads shaped communities and the American landscape. Join us for an engaging journey across the nation’s most important network of roads.
