Interstate 81 was established in 1957 with construction beginning
in New York State. The route traced historic US Route 11 through
the spine of the Appalachian Mountains. US 11 was created in 1926
and carried early car travelers from New Orleans to the Canadian
border. I-81 was not as ambitious, only covering 855 of the 1,645
miles of US II, beginning in eastern Tennessee and running through
upstate New York. The Interstate does not enter any major
metropolitan areas as it connects the mid-South with the major
markets of the Northeast, a circumstance that quickly made the
corridor a favorite of truckers. Today trucks account for an
estimated 25% to 40% of all traffic on stretches of I-81. The route
serves smaller, architecturally interesting industrial cities like
Scranton and Syracuse and Binghamton and Roanoke and we will begin
our explorations just below the Canadian border in Watertown and
flow south. There is no better way to see the towns along
Interstate 81 than on foot. And there is no better way to
appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour.
Whether you are visiting a new town or just out to look at your own
town in a new way, a walking tour is ready to explore when you are.
Each walking tour describes a mix of historical and architectural
and ecclesiastical landmarks. Tours Included: Watertown NY Syracuse
NY Binghamton NY Scranton PA Wilkes-Barre PA Pottsville PA
Harrisburg PA Carlisle PA Hagerstown MD Winchester VA Harrisonburg
VA Staunton VA Lexington VA Roanoke VA Abingdon VA
