This 13-star "Betsy Ross" flag has been on Route 66 for years. It is a prime, and patriotic, example of "barn art". It is located just south of Hurricane Creek and north of 24500 N, south of Nilwood on IL-4.

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.
