That rings especially true when planning the route to an excursion — you know where you’ll end up, but what else could you see or do along the way? If you’re a fan of stopping off at a quaint local market, admiring historic architecture, and seeing one-of-a-kind roadside attractions while driving through the beautiful countryside, then this just may be the most scenic drive in Central Illinois.
