Talk:King's Highway (Charleston to Boston)

More Details
I am certain more details could be ascertained so that this article could be fleshed out. I was on a tour of Poplar Grove Plantation, northeast of Wilmington, NC in July of 2013. The tour guide said that US Route 17 in NC was the King's Highway in the 18th - 19 centuries. It was a plank road. This article could be expanded if a knowledgeable person could describe the Highway as it appeared in each of the colonies or states during the years of its existence. Any scholars out there willing to take this on? L. Thomas W. (talk) 18:36, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

I live on Kings Highway in Maine, in Kennebunkport, so the road obviously ran farther north than Boston. Not sure how much farther north it goes. The map you link to shows it going to Portsmouth New Hampshire, but not crossing into Maine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.179.65.19 (talk) 19:47, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
