We have been most of the places on Amtrak that we can get to and from in one weekend with something interesting to see and do in the middle. But this is a new one, so close to Chicago that we overlooked it for years. It is Pontiac, Illinois, self-described as “A Small Town with Something for Everyone”. There is a lot there, the Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum, the Route 66 Museum and the Walldog Museum, specializing in a collection of historic outdoor advertisements. And there is a historical society museum and at least three homes from the mid-1800s and a court house. Club lodging was at the Best Western Hotel, several miles out of town near the Interstate, as the Best Western advertises that it has the only pool.
