What are some other Route 66 attractions in Illinois?
There’s no other American road quite as famous as Route 66 which starts in Chicago, Illinois, and travels westward where it ends in Santa Monica, California. Also known as the “Mother Road,” Route 66 in Illinois takes travelers on a nostalgic journey through charming towns and past historic and quirky roadside attractions which are always worthy of a stop. In addition to the Historic Route 66 Flea Market, here are some other must-visit Route 66 attractions in Illinois:
- Chicago. Route 66 begins in downtown Chicago, and snapping a selfie next to the beginning point of the Mother Road is certainly worth doing!
-
Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket. No trip along Route 66 would be complete without a stop at this longtime restaurant located in the charming village of Willowbrook. Grab a bite to eat at this famous restaurant that's best-known for its fried chicken baskets.
- Pontiac. Between learning the history of the Mother Road at the Route 66 Hall of Fame & Museum and walking across the town's three swinging bridges over the Vermilion River, you can spend quite a bit of time in Pontiac.
- Lincoln. There are quirky roadside attractions aplenty along Route 66 including the World's Largest Railsplitter Covered Wagon, a must-visit while passing through Lincoln.

Collinsville. Did you know that the World's Largest Catsup Bottle can be found in Collinsville right along Route 66? It's true! And what a great place to stop and snap some pics. Also be sure to drop by Old Herald Brewery for a pint and something to eat while passing through town.
- Old Log Cabin. Old Log Cabin is a rustic Illinois restaurant that serves up heaping portions of home-style comfort food. That’s why folks keep coming back to this Pontiac, Illinois institution.
