Ra66its, cars no more

 


People taking road trips on Old Route 66 can see remnants of bygone days in Staunton, Illinois.

A couple of attractions on Route 66 are closed in Staunton, Illinois.

Shuttered: Henry’s Ra66it Ranch at 1107 Historic Old Route 66 and Country Classic Cars on Old Route 66 at 2149 E. Frontage Road by I-55.

The places are abandoned but not forgotten. See why here.
