National Road Monument in Cumberland, Maryland, ma

National Road Monument in Cumberland, Maryland, marking the starting point of what was then called the Cumberland Road between Cumberland and Wheeling. The nation's first interstate highway, its superintendent of construction was David Shriver, Jr., one of the founders of Union Mills. Construction started in 1811; when the road became linked to turnpikes to Baltimore it became known as the National Road. Turnpikes in the area will be a focus of an upcoming program sponsored by the Historical Society of Carroll County. Details at https://hsccmd.org/event/box-lunch-talk-the-road-most-traveled/
