Bethlehem Pike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bethlehem Pike is one of the oldest roads in United States. It began as a Native American path (now) called the "Minsi Trail" which evolved into a colonial highway called the "King's Road" to eventually become a major highway connecting Philadelphia and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. During the mid-late 1700s, the pike ran from the King of Prussia Inn on Race Street in Philadelphia to the Sun Inn on main street in Bethlehem. Most of the route would later become part of U.S. Route 309, now Pennsylvania Route 309.
