Parmley and his co-workers who in 1912 founded the greatest of our transcontinental highways, the Yellowstone Trail the first portion of the Yellowstone Trail was built from Ipswich, its home, east to Aberdeen. From the beginning this great highway grew to span our nation from Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound.
