About the Event
Route 66 is turning 100! Let’s hit the road to celebrate! Our Rt 66 Section 2 Tour connects communities from Darien to Joliet. Jake and Elwood on a rooftop, a sign not to pick up hitch hikers near the prison, and other locally-specific Rt. 66 road markers will be noted on our Route 66 hand out. Your guides will meet you at specified stops along the way to give an inside, outside and onsite tour that connects the Mother Road, then and now!
Enjoy three lively sacred spaces that suggest the highway to heaven is closer than one might think: the National Shrine of St Therese of Lisieux, the 1891 Slovenian church of St Joseph, and St Mary of Nativity. The tour will also include Joliet’s historic downtown landmarks such as the Rialto Theatre, the Old Library, historic monuments, and a stop in the Joliet Historical Museum’s Route 66 exhibit.…
