that Main Street, The Historic Jefferson Highway is now LIVE 24/7 on EarthCam. This
unassuming view of Main Street is covered in history dating back to 1915. This is a project we have been working on for some time. Lots of tech/nerd stuff involved and it took me a while to figure it all out. With the help of my son Luke, we are now streaming live! I would also like to thank Melissa Maxwell at The Bonham Visitors Center for her assistance and consulting with the Jefferson Highway
Association. The view is on our website www.fannincountyleader. info and at the EarthCam website www.earthcam.com. Just type in Bonham and the feed will appear. Currently the stream is 1080p however we will be streaming in 4K soon. There will be a short ad, like all media there is advertising however, EarthCam does compensate for advertising based on the number of hits. The Leader will collect that income and divide the money between local Fannin County charities as a donation.

There is a QR code at the top of this front page so you can scan it with your phone camera and go straight to the stream. Based on my research, this is the first and only live stream in Bonham or Fannin County on EarthCam! This will put Bonham and Fannin County on the national media map due to the significance and history of the Jefferson Highway and Fannin County. Jefferson Highway Historic Site: Looking north on the historic Jefferson Highway, Main Street. The Jefferson Highway
was a highway stretching through the central United States from New Orleans, Louisiana, to Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada. Visible on the right side of the view is the Magnolia Oil Co. Gas Station. Construction on this station began in 1917 and was completed in 1918. It was built specifically to service motorists traveling the Jefferson Highway. Continued
