Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Illinois

A sacred origin spot for American fast foodies, the Store No 1 museum creates its own 1955 time warp, but stands across the street from a modern McDonald's.
~39 miles from Matteson.

The Festival is a survivor. Originally created because of a popular Wizard of Oz store that was once in town, it has also outlasted a museum that came (and went) after the store.
