historical route
Old traveled path
A historical route is a road, trail, or path significant for its past use or the events that occurred along it.
The Oregon Trail, Route 66, and the Silk Road are historical routes.
The term often applies to preserved or commemorated transportation corridors: We drove the historical route through the mountains rather than taking the interstate.
