Interstate 55: A Self-Guided Driving Tour from St. Louis, MO to Springfield, IL

Overview

This self-guided GPS audio tour brings to life the land, the towns, the people, and history to the places and sights you pass as you travel along Interstate 55 from St. Louis, MO to Springfield, IL. It transforms a monotonous ride into an stimulating, enjoyable, and no longer boring journey.

A safety note: Always focus on the road, drive safely, and obey all traffic laws. Nothing on this tour requires your immediate or prolonged attention.

What To Expect

Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site

A prehistoric civilization best known for the large earthen mounds they left behind lived here. The civilization thrived here for 600 years before mysteriously disappearing sometime before 1350 CE. The center of their civilization was dominated by Monk’s Mound, the largest prehistoric earthen construction in the Americas.

Union Miners Cemetery

One of the most famous advocates for the rights of miners was Mother Jones. She was once called the most dangerous woman in America. She died in 1930, and is buried at Union Miners Cemetery in Mt. Olive, the only union-owned cemetery in the United States.

Pink Elephant Antique Mall

Welcoming us to Livingston is the Pink Elephant Antique Mall, with its larger than life fiberglass men, women, ice cream cones, flying saucer, and of course, pink elephants.

Signing in was horrendous; took three calls and two emails. But once we were on the road the narrative was very interesting and I would use it for other trips if they have other selection for highway travels

Never received activation email. Side note did not realize it was st. Louis to Springfield thought it was only in the city. Re read description when trying to figure out how to do the tour.

OK, but when a road split, (not obvious which to take), the recording: “It appears you are lost.”, w/ no help, is a little irritating.
