Pontiac, Illinois, is best known for its connection to Route 66. Part of that history is depicted amongst the 25 outdoor murals downtown, which includes the largest and first mural, a Route 66 shield. You’ll find more Route 66 history at the Pontiac Museum Complex where visitors can also learn about U.S. Armed Forces history in Livingston County, and more. The Pontiac Oakland Automobile Museum and the Museum of the Gilding Arts are located just one block away from the complex. From spring through fall the city operates a hop-on, hop-off tour bus (the Jolly Trolley).
