Tucked along U.S. Highway 40 in western Ohio, the old National Road, America’s first federally funded highway, sits a roadside curiosity that’s been amusing travelers for generations: Footprint Rock.
It’s a simple stone with what looks like a human footprint pressed into it, the kind of oddity that once lured early motorists to pull over and take a look. Long before giant fiberglass dinosaurs, neon motels, and quirky roadside museums, attractions like this were enough to break up the miles.
Footprint Rock is located at: 39.84169132091147, -84.71039553680613
