Today's post on VanderbiltCupRaces.com describes the original plan to end the Long Island Motor Parkway, America's first automobile highway, in Riverhead.

Rare news clippings, surveys and maps document the 1906 plan "for a straightaway road of 65 or more miles that will extend from Floral Park through the center of Long Island to Riverhead".

For the first time ever, a survey is posted that shows the planned Motor Parkway route through Riverhead ending at Old Country Road.
