In this episode of American Road Trip Talk, we pay another visit to Springfield, Illinois, where Amy Beadle discusses the city's extensive preparations for the 2026 Route 66 Centennial. Beadle outlines a robust calendar of upcoming events, including a unique Centennial 5K race on the historic fairgrounds' dirt mile track, the return of the International Carillon Festival over Memorial Day weekend, and the "History Comes Alive" program featuring world-class Abraham Lincoln reenactors. The conversation also covers essential travel tips, from exploring the city's walkable historic sites to sampling local culinary icons like the "Horseshoe" sandwich and the original Cozy Dog.
