Illinois Route 66

The oldest and most scenic part of historic Illinois Route 66 is the 1926 - 1930 alignment. It is easy to imagine what the Route used to be by winding through the Central Illinois countryside.

And that is the purpose of this website: to promote not only Route 66, but the small businesses on this alignment.
