  Rochelle Gazebo Location Mural Location

   
  Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition unveiled its third Interpretive Mural in Rochelle on May 28, 2007. This mural depicts the travels of Emily Post as she made her way across the United States on the Lincoln Highway. Due to the sticky mud caused by heavy rains, Emily and her son, Ned, were able to spend a few days in Rochelle before being able to continue their trek to San Francisco. Follow the red, white, and blue Lincoln Highway signs in Rochelle and you will find this mural on the side of the furniture building – you can’t miss her!

Two more Interpretive Murals appear on the Illinois Lincoln Highway – one in Creston and one in DeKalb. Both are just east of Rochelle. In the future, ILHC plans on unveiling 40 more murals and 20 Interpretive Gazebos across the state. Keep visiting our site to watch for updates!
   

Rochelle welcomes visitors throughout the year to its historic and unique attractions such as Railroad Park which attracts train buffs from all over the world to view the more than 100 trains that pass through town every day. Visit Flagg Township Historical Society Museum, Rochelle Fire Department Museum, and the 1918 Standard Oil Filling Station (which also serves as their Visitor Center). Don’t miss this stop in “Hub City” – Rochelle!
