The sign on the door of the Macoupin County Jail proclaims "Since
1869".
It was built using the "cannon ball" method by cementing cannon
balls into the stone walls to prevent jail breaks but one person did
escape only to be caught later.
One
of the Route 66 Shields has been placed in the parking lot on the east
side of the jail.

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
Did
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.
