Northern Kentucky’s Dixie Highway is a slice of Americana Pie. It tells the pictorial history of the businesses, churches, stores and restaurants that popped up along US25 as the population moved away from urban core of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport. The resulting neighborhoods and suburban communities all tie their roots to The Lexington-Covington Turnpike, which we now know as The Dixie Highway. This original buffalo trail, which was named in the early 1800s, had transformed into a paved national highway by the 1920s. This book captures images of the people and places along the way, beginning in Covington and heading south through Boone County. These photographs date back as early as the mid 1800s and some are as current as the early 1980s, but they all depict how fast some things change, but, ironically, how some things stay the same.   Spend some time visiting with old friends and familiar sites and you page through nearly 200 photographs strolling along Northern Kentucky’s Dixie Highway.
