“The coalition will provide services to participating communities, sites and residents throughout illinois to help them develop their lincoln highway story and experiences. The illinois lincoln highway coalition will implement a strong central marketing campaign that will promote the "every mile is a story" image and the ability to experience those stories through the participating sites and services and road trip packages. The lincoln highway runs approximately 179 miles through northern illinois, crossing through eight (8) counties: cook, will, kendall, kane, dekalb, ogle, lee and whiteside, as well as 32 individual municipalities. During its 179-mile trek, the lincoln highway offers authentic lincoln highway sites and attractions including the first seedling mile (one of the original one-mile paved pieces of roadway) near malta and rochelle's filling station.

The coalition will provide services to participating communities, sites and residents throughout illinois to help them develop their lincoln highway story and experiences. The illinois lincoln highway coalition will implement a strong central marketing campaign that will promote the "every mile is a story" image and the ability to experience those stories through the participating sites and services and road trip packages.”
