It’s that time of the year when many yards in this part of Ohio sprout tables, chairs, and acres and acres of items to sell.
It’s the Lincoln Highway BUY-WAY, an event which has taken its place among Ohio’s favorite summer traditions. For over twenty years, the venerable Lincoln Highway is the place to go for bargains, food, and fun.
This year’s BUY-WAY takes place from 8 AM to 5 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
According to promotional material, “The idea of the BUY-WAY Yard Sale is to bring people to rediscover the lesser traveled path of the original Lincoln Highway, once a bustling road that began connecting America by automobiles, and changed the way we travel today. This event encourages small businesses to gain revenues through increased tourism. This activity helps the local economy.”

The Lincoln Highway was America’s first cross-country automobile roadway. Constructed in 1913, it spanned over 3,000 miles, connecting Times Square in New York City and Lincoln Park in San Francisco. The 241-mile section that passed through Ohio was adjusted and realigned multiple times, but the final version adopted in 1928 is known as the Ohio Lincoln Highway Historic Byway.
Today, the byway is not only notable for historic reasons. Each August, the Buy-Way Yard Sale (August 8-10) takes place for one weekend along the route, which passes through north central Ohio. More…
It’s almost time once again for the Ohio Lincoln Highway BUY-WAY yard sale. Now in its fourteenth year, Ohio’s longest yard sale will take place Thursday, August 9 through Saturday, August 11.
