The South is not the only place where the sesquicentennial commemoration will be taking place. There are plenty of events right here in Illinois.
Just from a road stand-point, I live right off US-12, which is called the Iron Brigade Highway. Farther south is US-20, the US Grant Highway and the first US transcontinental road, the Lincoln Highway (US-30, Il-31, Il-38 and Il-2) and the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, US-6.
Not bad for a backwater of the war.
