Testimonials:

Lyn Dennis (via our Facebook Fan page) says,

Gotta say that we just returned from spending time on The Mother Road and Illinois has done itself proud in trying to maintain the history of Rt 66. Pontiac deserves a medal. We would like to have spent HOURS there. We've promised ourselves a return trip. :)

We're so glad we stopped here on our Route 66 trip! I can't wait to visit again and see and meet more nice people. This Museum is truly a vibrant, changing tribute to the road.
