Visit Our New Preservation Display
The Route 66 Association of Illinois is proud to announce that our new Preservation Display is now on exhibit!
The Preservation Display is located upstairs of the Route 66 Museum in Pontiac. You'll find the display even more convenient to visit by using our newly installed elevator!
John and Lenore Weiss have provided their preservation photo display. Added to this are additional displays of preservation efforts along Route 66 in Illinois.
The purpose is to bring more awareness of all the efforts to save and revitalize Route 66 in Illinois.
A sign declares, “ROUTE 66 PRESERVATION – THE ASSOCIATION, INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO PRESERVE THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE.”
This display honors those who give so much. If it wasn’t for preservation projects, there would soon be little left of Route 66. As a result of these efforts tourists now come to Illinois by the tens of thousands to experience Americana.
The Route 66 Association vows to continue with its promise to PRESERVE, PROMOTE, EDUCATE and ENJOY.
This display was furnished by the Weiss’ along with the financial assistance of Mr. John Ruh and the Route 66 Association of Illinois.
We welcome your Route 66 news, stories, photos and events for publication in our newsletter or on our web site!
