The
Route 66 Association of Illinois spent the weekend on
the beloved highway, often called the Mother Road.
Starting Saturday morning at the Chain of Rocks Bridge
near St. Louis the group drove to Lincoln for their
evening banquet and to stay at local motels.
On Sunday morning, before leaving town, the association
members visited the Mill on Route 66 Museum in Lincoln.
Many of the association members have helped with various
restoration projects at the Mill over the years, but had
not seen it since the Logan County Tourism Bureau has
completed a recent facelift of the Mill. All were
pleasantly surprised by the new exterior siding, the
opening up of windows, the new look inside the museum,
and the cool air from the new climate control units.
