Do you know the history of iconic U.S. Route 1? Historians Richard Friend and Aaron Marcavitch join forces to share vintage postcards and the local history of Route 1 (presented by Richard Friend). Connecting residential communities and commercial crossroads, Route 1 has spanned three centuries of transportation, communication, and development, touching all areas of the region between these two major cities.
