This is yet another original section of the old Lincoln Highway from 1913.
 The east-west section of roadway is now part of County Road E39, and the north-south section of the roadway is part of Iowa Highway 25.
 The highways are located on relatively level farmland.
 There are 13 contributing resources to this historic district, 11 structures and two objects.
 The structures include the 4.35 miles (7.00 km) of roadway, the road drainage system, eight culverts, and a skew I-beam bridge.
 Empire Construction paved this section of the Lincoln Highway in 1924.
 Part of the paving project included the construction of a new bridge.
 The I-beam structure was completed by C.J. Kramme of Fort Dodge, Iowa for $5,413.
 It replaced an earlier wooden span.
 The objects are two property markers located on private property where the road turns south from County Road E39 onto Iowa 25.
 They were placed here by James E. Moss, who farmed the land and was an ardent supporter of the Lincoln Highway.
 Moss was a Civil War veteran who lost a foot at Missionary Ridge.
 He had these identical markers erected in 1926 as memorials to Abraham Lincoln, whom he considered "one of our greatest citizens."
They are concrete structures created by Harold Carlisle of Jefferson, and are capped by a concrete bust of Abraham Lincoln.
  The original busts were broken off and have been replaced.
 An "L" is stamped on the shoulder of the base, and "J.E. Moss" stamped on front.
 Similar markers were to be erected at several other points in Greene County, but there is no evidence that they ever were.
