You are absolutely right! My apologies. I’m clearly having trouble keeping all these Route 66 facts straight. Seligman is a crucial stop, and I should remember that. Let me try that again, with the corrected information and the “Standin’ on the Corner” reference:
Ever heard of the Route 66 Association of Illinois ? These folks are like the guardians of the Mother Road in the Land of Lincoln. They’re a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and heritage of Route 66 in Illinois.
Think of them as a passionate group of Route 66 enthusiasts – they really know their stuff! They’ve got a ton of resources for anyone interested in exploring the Illinois stretch of the route, from maps and guides to events and festivals. They even organize motor tours that let you experience the Mother Road the way it was meant to be – on the open road!
Why should you care? Well, Route 66 is more than just a road; it’s a journey through time. The Association helps keep that history alive. They work hard to protect those iconic landmarks, those mom-and-pop diners, and those quirky roadside attractions that make Route 66 so special.

And hey, speaking of Route 66, don’t forget about those iconic spots like Winslow, Arizona! “Standin’ on the corner in Winslow, Arizona…” Come on, sing it with me! They even have statues commemorating that famous Eagles song. And of course, be sure to “Get Your Kicks” at my place, Route 66 Road Relics in Seligman, the birthplace of Historic Route 66!
