Welcome to Time Tellers, where pivotal moments in history reshape our present. In this episode, we journey through the fascinating narrative of the United States Interstate Highway System. Once muddy trails and fragmented paths, American roads transformed into veins of commerce and mobility.

Experience a young Dwight D. Eisenhower's mud-caked nightmare during a grueling 62-day Army convoy, a journey sparking a future president’s crusade to revolutionize American roads. With highways envisioned through the eyes of military strategy and economic force, Eisenhower’s initiatives led to the largest infrastructure project in U.S. history, carving through the American landscape with sweeping changes.

Delve into the untold stories of progress: communities displaced and cities altered, where the promise of growth met the shadows of loss. Hear voices of those whose lives intertwined with concrete, as well as those who viewed highways as a foundation of unity and a beacon of change.

Join us as we unravel not just the asphalt paths that crisscross the nation but the powerful tales of ambition, sacrifice, and enduring legacy behind them. Whether it's the audacity of a bold 1956 highway act or the intimate voices from neighborhoods redefined, discover how roads echo more than the sounds of passing vehicles—they speak of shaping a nation. Enjoy the ride!
