About Waggoner, Illinois: A Sanctuary on the Road
The journey down Route 66 is often more than just a drive, but rather a pilgrimage. Waggoner, Illinois offers one of the route's most contemplative stops, a small village with a big spirit that lies just west of the historic 1926-1930 alignment. Originally named for a Kentucky veteran of the War of 1812, Waggoner reflects the grit and faith of the Midwest, where the road's practical purpose meets its deeper meaning.
The centerpiece of the community's story is the Our Lady of the Highway's Shrine, a serene monument where a statue of the Virgin Mary stands, keeping watch over the road. Travelers often pause here to reflect, pray or simply take in the quiet moment of protection and guidance this shrine represents.
Just steps away, a fragment of the original 1930 roadbed lies cracked and weathered, a tangible reminder of the earliest days of Route 66. Together, these landmarks make Waggoner a place where travelers can find grace in the middle of the journey - a reminder that the Mother Road offers not just adventure, but moments of peace and reflection too.
