History
The Grand Army of the Republic Highway, also known as the GAR Highway, is a historic road in the United States that was dedicated to the memory of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a fraternal organization of Union veterans of the American Civil War. This highway was established in the early 20th century to honor the veterans of the Civil War and commemorate their service.
The GAR Highway ran from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to San Francisco, California, spanning nearly 3,400 miles. Along its route, it passed through various towns and cities, connecting key points of interest related to the Civil War.
In Omaha, Nebraska, the GAR Highway was a notable part of the city's road network. It would have followed a route through Omaha as it made its way westward. While the GAR Highway was significant in its time, its importance has diminished over the years with the development of modern highways and transportation infrastructure.
