The music played and the people came from near and far to dance at the nearby Coliseum Ballroom in Benld. The ballroom is long gone, but the memories live on and these dancers are here to prove it.

x A brief history of the Coliseum can be found on this Wayside Exhibit.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
