Dixie Travel Plaza

McLean, Illinois

One of Route 66's oldest truck stops, going since 1928 as the Dixie Truckers Home.

Time to allow
45 min

A big travel plaza on the old Route 66 corridor that grew out of a 1928 trucker stop. It is a reliable place to eat, fuel up and stretch your legs half-way down Illinois. It is a working truck stop rather than a quaint diner, so go for the history and a decent meal.

Good to know

  • Good place for a fuel and food break between Bloomington and Springfield
  • Look at the Route 66 memorabilia inside
Getting there
Big lot, easy for campervans and trucks
Vehicles
