Description

Embark on a road trip from Chicago to Springfield, Illinois, and drive through the heart of the Midwest's charming landscapes and historic sites. Follow the historic Route 66, and stop at the Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum in Pontiac. Start in the bustling city of Chicago, with its iconic skyline and Lake Michigan's shimmering shores. Head out on I-55 South, also known as the historic Route 66 for part of the way, immersing yourself in the nostalgia of the 'Mother Road.' As you venture southward, the urban landscape gradually gives way to the rolling plains and fertile farmlands of Illinois, a testament to the state's rich agricultural heritage. Along the way, consider stopping in the town of Pontiac to explore the Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum, a treasure trove of memorabilia that celebrates the legendary highway's history and impact on American culture. Continuing your journey, pass through the state capital of Springfield, a city steeped in the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, one of the nation's most revered presidents. Here, visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln's Home National Historic Site, and the Illinois State Capitol. Each of these landmarks offers a deep dive into the history and political life of Illinois and the life and times of Lincoln himself.
