Hotel Near Historic Illinois Highways


Your next road trip following the historic Lincoln Highway or US-51 will lead you to Rochelle Il and a bed at the Holiday Inn Express.

You may have heard Rochelle referred to as the Hub City. Is our fair city world-famous for its chrome spinning rims? Not quite. Rochelle is a center of transportation routes, specifically rail and road. Previously this blog discussed Rochelle’s celebration of the rails with Rochelle’s railroad days. Now we celebrate another spoke of the hub city, Rochelle’s historic highways.

The Lincoln Highway was the first transcontinental highway. Dedicated in 1913, the Lincoln highway winds it way from Times Square New York to Lincoln Park San Francisco. In Rochelle, the route is now Highway 38, which coincidentally, the Holliday Inn Rochelle is located just off.

US Highway 51 is one of the first North-South highway going from Hurley, Wisconsin to Laplace, Louisiana. This unique trans-American highway would offer a new perspective on this great nation.

Whichever trip you and your travel companions may take, enjoy your stay at the Holiday Inn Express Rochelle.
