Geneva's Lincoln Highway gazebo features an interpretive panel that illustrates the history of Geneva and the Lincoln Highway, as well as the story of Alice Ramsey, the first woman to drive from coast to coast. Additionally, the site features an original 1928 concrete Lincoln Highway marker. These markers were installed by 3,000 Boy Scouts across the country in 1928 to commemorate the official dedication of the Lincoln Highway. The gazebo was constructed in 2009 as part of the Interpretive Gazebo Project, funded through a National Scenic Byway Grant from the Federal Highway Administration, with support from the City of Geneva. The Lincoln Highway Gazebos mark the Illinois section of the highway, which is the only portion of the Lincoln Highway designated a National Scenic Byway in its entirety.
