Historic Roads Defined

In general, historic roads are roads that, through design, experience, or association, have contributed to our culture in a meaningful way. The type of road, its history, and current condition will determine the most appropriate action for preservation. The National Task Force for Historic Roads (NTFHR) has identified three types of historic roads: Aesthetic Routes, Engineered Routes, and Cultural Routes.
