About Litchfield, Illinois: The Halfway Point

On the long trek across the Midwest, every road-weary traveler needs a haven and the Town of Litchfield has been that place for countless generations. Perfectly positioned between St. Louis and Springfield, this town on the Mother Road became a welcome crossroads for motorists seeking comfort on their way west. Born from the railroad and strengthened by the coal mines, Litchfield's history is one of grit and perseverance, a true testament to the working class American spirit.

Today, that heritage shines through its enduring landmarks. The legendary Ariston Café, serving travelers since 1924, remains one of the oldest operating restaurants on Route 66 and still greets visitors with hearty meals and homemade pie beneath its glowing neon sign. Just down the road, the Route 66 Sky View Drive-In, which has been continuously operating since 1951, invites visitors to step back in time and watch a double feature under the stars.

From its vintage signs to the preserved roadbed itself, Litchfield embodies the soul of the Main Street of America. It's a reminder that the Route 66 isn't just about the miles you cover, but rather the moments of rest, community and connection found along the journey.
