The Elkhart Grain Elevators are located on Route 66 (Logan County 10)
just before Governor Oglesby St. In the early 1900s this was the location
of the Spellman Elevator. A short section of the 1926 Route 66 runs on
the north side of the elevator, the 1940's alignments is on the west side
of the tracks. I-55 runs on the west side of the 1940's road, so you have
all three roads within a few hundred feet of each other at this point.

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

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.
