Description
U.S. Route 66 (US 66 or Route 66) nicknamed the Mother Road, was one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. The highway began from Chicago and ran all the way to Santa Monica, California, covering a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
We will first visit the crossing of Adams Street and Michigan Avenue, which is the starting point of Route 66. Then we will have breakfast at Lou Mitchell’s, also known as "the first stop on the Mother Road.". The restaurant has kept its original decoration since 1949 so you can feel Route 66’s classic golden age. We will then stop at Joliet and visit the Old Joliet Prison Park where the famous TV series Prison Break was made.
Afterwards, we will visit Pontiac, another important destination on Route 66. We will have a guided museum tour through which you can have a comprehensive understanding of the Mother Road.
The tour will be guided by the city staff and includes Route 66 Hall of Fame (the largest collection of Route 66 Memorabilia in Illinois), the Pontiac Oakland Automobile Museum (one of the world’s greatest and most expansive collection of Pontiac) and the Museum of the Gilding Arts (store signs on Route 66 used to be made of gold! Here you can also learn how to make gold leaf). We will go back to Chicago in the evening.
