Under the National Scenic Byways
program, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation recognizes roads that
possess outstanding scenic, historic, recreational, cultural,
archeological or natural qualities by designating them as either
National Scenic Byways or All-American Roads. One of those roads
runs through Logan County -- Route 66.

The Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway organization has been chaired by
Atlanta resident Bill Thomas for the last few years, until his term
ended last month. Logan County still is represented in this top
position, as Geoff Ladd was voted the new chairman.Ladd has many
years of experience with promoting tourism and Route 66 in Logan
County, making him an easy fit into this position. He is the
executive director for the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan
County, chairman of the Route 66 Heritage Foundation of Logan County
and also helped with saving and preserving The Mill on 66. As a
board member he has worked very closely with Jeanette Cowden and
Bill Kelly of the Scenic Byway and looks forward to taking on this
new role.
