Route 66 in Illinois

32 videos • 414 views • by HistoricallyMarked For anyone who wants a town-by-town chronicle of where to stop at on Route 66 in Illinois. Starting at the Mississippi River, continuing north. I visited several "66" towns/cities that had historical markers, along with some other cool landmarks attached to them. The end of the journey is chronicled in the "Route 66 Begin/End signs in Chicago" episode, where I stand at the intersection of Jackson & Michigan Avenues. Notable towns I did not do videos for are Elkhart, Broadwell and some of the Chicago suburbs.
