From the March 16th Morris (Il) Daily Herald.
The new museum is in Godley, Illinois, in the northern part of the state and is called the Illinois Route 66 Mining Museum.
March 26th, they will be having a cleanup day after a ceremony to honor the 46 men and boys who died and are still entombed in the Diamond Mine Disaster which took place March 26, 1883.
The building is at the site of the former Godley village hall and features both Route 66 and mining exhibits.
It was made possible by a joint effort of a grasslands group, the Godley Red Carpet Corridor Committee (coming up in early March), the Village of Godley and the Route 66 Association of Illinois.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
