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.
When
the road was realigned to a new 4-lane bypass, the building was raised
and turned 180 degrees so the front door would again face the road.
The restaurant seats about 45 and the only major change is the addition
of a front entry in 1990. It is located on US 66 and N. 1600 E. Rd/Pontiac
Rd. 
The
Wayside Exhibit here is titled "The Log Cabin Inn: Turning with
the Times" It is complemented with a mini motorcycle and a stylized
Harley-Davidson amblem.
