In just a few hours, Liz and I leave for Springfield, Illinois, for the 2011 Illinois Division Conference of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. That's right, Confederates in Lincoln's home town.
From Dwight to Springfield, we'll be on Route 66, another big interest of mine.
While in Springfield, I will begin compiling a list of Civil War sites along Route 66 for a possible Route 66 Association of Illinois Motor Tour in the future. After all, it is the Sesquicentennial of the war.
Two that I know of right now are Camp Butler and the GAR Museum.
These sites will be in addition to the Lincoln ones that everyone knows about.
Route 66 and the Civil War. --RoadDog
