The lecture,<a href=\"http:\/\/dixonhistory.com\/countryroads.html\"> &#8220;Life in the Past Lane; Delaware Roads,&#8221;<\/a> encourages people to get off the highway and enjoy some of the State\u2019s most scenic, cultural and historic roads &#8212; along with the surrounding landscape and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the description of the program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the arrival of modern, high-speed highways, many of Delaware\u2019s scenic routes and the small hamlets and villages clustered around those old corridors are overlooked. This talk explores the character, ambiance, and history of some of these lesser-traveled roads today. These historic roadways are much more than just a line on the map.  So come along for an enjoyable trip.  You will hear intriguing stories about waterfront towns, agricultural communities, and country hamlets and villages, where discovery awaits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come along and find your road in this talk.  Along the way, we will explore science byways, old historic corridors, and the connections between the past and today. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dixonhistory.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/275868516_324288826399302_1585773177543433112_n.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"497\" height=\"497\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dixonhistory.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/275868516_324288826399302_1585773177543433112_n.jpg?resize=497%2C497&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A Delaware Road -- between Kirkwood and Tybouts Corner.  \" class=\"wp-image-3364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dixonhistory.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/275868516_324288826399302_1585773177543433112_n.jpg?w=497&amp;ssl=1 497w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dixonhistory.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/275868516_324288826399302_1585773177543433112_n.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dixonhistory.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/275868516_324288826399302_1585773177543433112_n.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Travel was difficult in mid-March 1923 as this automobile travels along.
