IL Route 66 Association Hall of Fame & Museum, Pontiac

This was an unplanned stop for us and it was very interesting. What to make a side stop this is a good place to go. Alot of history and friendly people. A great place to learn about Route 66.

Excellent place to visit ! A bunch of really interesting stuff. Don't miss going to the military museum on the third floor; they have at least 75 uniforms from actual soldiers from wwI to present, and each has a description of the person's military history that is very humbling because not all of them made it home alive! I was brought to tears reading many of their stories! The museum is free, but the military part has a donation box and I would encourage everyone who visits to donate so they can continue to honor all of the heroes that have served so that we can enjoy our freedom in this country! On a lighter note, the vw van was the inspiration for the movie cars. Read the sign in the front window!

A absolute must stop if your road tripping. Great little museum and Route 66 gift shop. Staff was really friendly and knowledgeable.

Looks like a nice place, but it was closed on the Monday I was there. However, lots of fun on the outside with murals. There is parking available.

I went there in August 2020 and it had a lot of history to it and it was very interesting place to visit and it has a lot of Route 66 pictures and memorabilia.
