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.

New Lincoln Highway Gazebo in Dixon, Illinois
The state along the old Lincoln Highway that has the best signage, Illinois, now has another gazebo interpretive center, this one in Dixon. It is one of 16 planned or already built along the state's stretch.
These gazebos are designed for tourism. Visitors can read about the Lincoln Highway and obtain information.
A Federal Highway Administration grant covers 80% of each one, while the city picks up the remaining part.
Dixon's is located at the corner of Galena Avenue and River Street.
Nearby Steling has a gazebo at Lincoln Park on 4th Street, but the interpretive panels have yet to be installed. The project is expected to be finished sometime next week.

Thank you, RoadDog. Check out Creston, Malta, DeKalb, Rochelle, Aurora, Batavia, Frankfort, Fulton, Geneva, Sterling, Oregon, North Aurora, Plainfield, New Lenox, and Frankfort! They are all scheduled to be built by the end of October -- with their interpretive panels to follow shortly thereafter. Thank you for your kind words about our signage. We continue to try to get the word out about Illinois Lincoln Highway -- the only state that has achieved the National Scenic Byway status. Travelers love the Illinois Lincoln Highway!
We don't belong to the Illinois Lincoln Highway Association for nothing. Completely agree with you.
Great to hear all the other kiosks are going to be open soon.
Iowa is working hard to get their stretch Byway status as well.
