Some new news about an old road.
1. LITCHFIELD, ILLINOIS-- I came across a picture of the Manske-Nieman Farm in the April 20th Springfield Journal-Register. The farm has been placed on the list of most endangered sites in Illinois. Ophelia Nieman is maintaining the farm and keeping it in shape. "The buildings are all still the same as they were when the farm was first established. Nothing new has been added and nothing old has been destroyed.
Of course, she is getting up in years and it is becoming harder to keep the place up which is why it is on the list. She is probably eighty or older and has no other family to help her. I also read that it is on Route 66.
2. NO MORE DREAM CAR MUSEUM-- I read that this museum in Williamsville, Illinois is up for auction, including its 36 autos, 13 motorcycles and several tractors. Too bad, one less thing to see along the route.

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.
