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!
