Winter Hours Begin at Our Museum in Pontiac, IL

Just a reminder that the Winter hours of operation for our Hall of Fame and Museum switch to winter hours (10:00 AM – 4:00 PM) beginning November 1. We hope you’ll come visit us at our unique Route 66 attraction honoring the Mother Road in Illinois.

We’re located at 110 W Howard St in Pontiac. Our museum is chock-full of memorabilia from Route 66’s heyday. Admission is free. We’re handicapped accessible. We have friendly volunteers ready to inform and delight you with their knowledge of Route 66. So what are you waiting for?

Donations Fuel Our Mission!

Your donation to our Association helps support our efforts to preserve, promote, educate and enjoy Route 66 in Illinois. We are a volunteer organization; 100% of donations are allocated to preservation efforts along the Mother Road in Illinois (never to administrative or housekeeping expenses). We thank you for your generous donation toward maintaining our nostalgic slice of Americana.


The Allure of the Mother Road

Listen to Association member, Route 66 expert and author, John Weiss, describe the allure of the Mother Road. What makes Route 66 a treasure worth preserving? John explains it all.
