A building that was once the longtime home to a Springfield restaurant is now a museum celebrating the city's links to Route 66. The State Journal-Register reports Gov. Bruce Rauner and state and local officials attended Saturday's dedication ceremony at the former home of The Mill restaurant, which opened in 1929 and closed in 1996. More than $90,000 was raised to replace the building's roof, repair 44 windows, restore the original floor and make it accessible for the disabled.

Route 66 deemed endangered historic place
Landmarks Illinois , a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving history, has selected Route 66 as one of this year's most endangered historic place in the state. "One of the tools that some communities had to use was within the National Park Service there is a Route 66 corridor preservation program and that had been around since 1999 and was renewed in 2009 for another 10 years and this provides some cost share grants," Butterfield said.

Fort Reno loses state funding, cuts hours deeply
Oklahoma state government's dire financial situation apparently forced it to halt funding for Fort Reno near El Reno, Oklahoma, just off old Route 66. According to a report by KOCO in Oklahoma City, the historic fort - which dates to the 1870s - that once was open daily but Christmas and Thanksgiving now is greeting tourists only three days a week. "Missing the people that come down Route 66, it makes me sad to think that they came all the way up here and it's closed," Fuller said.
