Description
An original piece of the narrow 1926-30 Route 66 alignement winds south of Nilwood, parallel to the current straight configuration of IL Route 4. Turkey tracks were imprinted in the 1920's when the original Route 4 concrete was poured, prior to its designation as Route 66. The story varies from a local farmer's escaped turkeys to wild turkeys being the owners of the prints.
