The Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road with the release of a special commemorative visitor guide and business directory, designed to help travelers explore the rich history, iconic attractions, and vibrant communities along the Illinois portion of Route 66.
“The Centennial is an opportunity to celebrate not only the history of Route 66 but also the small businesses and quirky roadside attractions that give the road its soul,” said Casey Claypool, executive director of the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway.
