Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition unveiled its first Interpretive Center with interactive panels in October 2006. It is located in the Dixon Welcome Center on the corner of River and Galena Streets. This 3-panel display tells the history of America’s first transcontinental highway while allowing the visitor to “open windows” and “turn dials” to learn more. There’s also a chance to become one of the Van Buren sisters as they took their famous ride across the United States on an Indian motorcycle!
   

Along the gently flowing Rock River in northwestern Illinois is a city full of history, recreation, and amenities, that bolster the quality of midwestern life. Dixon has become "the jewel of the Sauk Valley Area" and the people of Dixon warmly welcome you to enjoy the simple things that make this community worth experiencing.
