Waldmire Bus Will Open on May 4!

Recent visitors to our Hall of Fame and Museum in Pontiac, Illinois may have been disappointed to discover that the Bob Waldmire converted school bus that resides behind our building was closed for the cold weather. We want to let everyone know that the bus will open and ready for touring season on Saturday, May 4 (the same day of the Red Carpet Corridor Festival). We hope you’ll add a visit to this charming, unique display at our museum when you’re in Pontiac!

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.

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.
