Some More About the Illinois Route 66 Bike Path in Towanda-- Part 2: Burma Shave Signs and a 'Walking" Map of 66

 The bike path is alongside and on top of original Route 66 pavement that was abandoned.

A large, suitable for selfies or other photos is located at Historic 66 and Jefferson Street which was funded by projects put on by third graders.

There is also a large map of the United States showing Route 66's path which is believed to be the only map of its type actually on the old road's pavement.  This enables visitors to "walk" from Chicago to Los Angeles.

There is also a large group of volunteers who tend to the landscaping along the length of Towanda's section.

The section also has a five-sign set of those famous old Burma Shave signs:

Around the Curve

Lickety-Split

Beautiful Car

Wasn't It?

Burma Shave

All eight states have their own sign with the state's outline and some pertinent facts.
