	History of the Museum Mile \| The Museum Mile Festival - Tuesday, June 12, 2007
		Begun as an initiative to spur the development of new museum audiences and to increase support for the arts during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, Museum Mile was formed as a consortium by the museums that share the Fifth Avenue address.
		Museum Mile Festival promoted public awareness through increased visibility, accessibility and attendance at all the museums, and brought many New Yorkers to upper Fifth Avenue for the first time.
		Total attendance records over its twenty-six years have surpassed one million visitors, and because of the success of the festival and the work of consortium, the City of New York officially designated Fifth Avenue from 82nd to 105th streets as "Museum Mile" further cementing the area as one of the city¹s major cultural resources.

	LHHC - Roadside Museum
		That is what the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor (LHHC) has done with its 200-Mile Roadside Museum, where exhibits have been installed in Westmoreland, Somerset, Bedford, Fulton, Franklin, and Adams counties on or near US Route 30 along the original route of the Lincoln Highway..
		The museum honors the Lincoln Highway, the nation's first coast-to-coast highway stretching from New York to San Francisco.
		Just as the Lincoln Highway sparked the public's imagination and fostered the rapid growth of automobile tourism in the early 20th century, the 200-mile Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor beckons everyone to ride the same ribbon of asphalt and concrete as their grandparents.

	Museum Mile High
		The Museum Mile is actually one mile plus two blocks, spanning from 104th Street to 82nd Street -- 22 blocks of architecturally handsome Fifth Avenue -- and is perhaps the densest, most conveniently arranged display of culture in the world.
		Situated at the highest (and loneliest) point of the Museum Mile and housed in what looks like a rather uninviting high school, El Museo del Barrio at 104th Street is easy to miss.
		Many folks familiar with Museum Mile will tell you that their favorite stop along the route is the Museum of the City of New York at 103rd Street.
