East < GO > West

The Van Duyne Motel is located on the south side of the road immediately after crossing the first Kankakee River bridge when coming from the east on W. Baltimore Street in Wilmington . One of the signs in front of this motel read "Best Motel by a Dam Site" when we went by in 2016. That's a reference to the nearby Wilmington Dam.

There are three signs out front, this seems to be the most prominent one at the moment.

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.
