    cial home of Superman and proudly honors

    its favorite son with a 15-foot bronze statue

    at Superman Square. And now, a new stat-

    ue of actress Noel Neil, posed as Lois Lane,

    stands just two blocks down the street.

    The annual Superman Celebration on

    June 6-9 pays tribute to their favorite lead-

    ing man with entertainment, an amusement

    park, car show, celebrity appearances and

    Lex Luthor on Smallville.

    In addition, organizers are once again

    encouraging Superman fans from all over to

    meet at the Superman Statue to break the

    record for the Largest Gathering of People

    Dressed as Superman.

    Metropolis is also home to the rst state

    park in Illinois Fort Massac State Park,

    which overlooks the Ohio River. Experience

    the scenic splendor of southern Illinois with

    outdoor fun, such as hiking, camping, pic-

    nicking or boating and shing on the Ohio

    River.

    At Fort Massac, take a historical journeyat the replica of the 1802 American fort that

    was on site. The historic fort area contains two

    barracks, three block houses, ofcer quarters,

    well, stockade and a fraise fence. The site also

    has the archaeological outline of the 1757

    French fort.

    For those who enjoy the excitement of

    original Mother Road highway while driv-

    ing through Litcheld, located along Inter-

    state 55 about one hour from St. Louis.Litcheld boasts what is believed to be the

    oldest restaurant on Route 66. The Ariston

    Caf was founded by Pete Adam, a Greek

    immigrant, in Carlinville, Ill., in 1924. In

    1929 the cafe was relocated to Litcheld, andmoved to its present location on Route 66 in

    1935.

    Drive-in movie theaters are a thing of the

    past in St. Louis, but one remains along His-

    toric Rte. 66 in Litcheld. Sky View Drive-In

    now open for the season on Friday, Saturday

    and Sunday evenings.

    Yaeger has over 45 miles of beautiful shore-

    line with 300 acres of parks. The lake draws

    Missouri. Discover the lake on the Fourth of

    July during Litchelds huge reworks display

    at the lake. From June to September, bass

    North of Efngham off I-57 is beautifulLake Shelbyville, an Army Corps of Illinois

    miles of shoreline, camping, boating, hiking

    and more.

    take a train ride and see a railway car display

    that includes a Pullman and post ofce car.

    The museum is open Saturdays and Sun-

    days, May through October.

    Okawville

    From St. Louis, head east on Interstate

    64 about 40 miles to enjoy the splendor

    of a simpler time in Okawville. The town

    has long enjoyed its reputation as home to

    the only remaining mineral springs resort

    in Illinois. For many years excursion trains

    brought guests to the baths for the therapeu-

    tic effects of the mineral water. Originallyfounded as Bridgeport in 1838, it wasnt un-

    til the mid 1870s that Germans immigrated,

    renaming the community Okawville.

    The Original Springs Hotel was estab-

    lished in 1867 when the value of the mineral

    water was discovered. The hotel consists of

    a century-old hotel, restaurant, and mineral

    spa. Its present building was opened May 1,

    1893, after a re completely destroyed the

    previous structure in 1891. The hotel has a

    heated pool and 36 guest rooms, a blend of

    the past and present.

    The hotel offers several packages for

    sweethearts or friends who seek a relaxing

    getaway centered around mineral baths.

    Golfers can spend the day at the 18-hole

    Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course, then

    head to the hotel for a spa treatment before

    enjoying dinner in the restaurant.

    A Simpler Life Awaits In Illinois Amish CountryIn Illinois Amish Country horse-drawn

    buggies are nearly as common as automo-

    biles. Since 1865, when three Pennsylvania

    Mennonite families rst settled in the area, it

    has become known simply as Amish Coun-

    try.

    To get there, take Interstate 57 north to the

    communities of Arthur, Arcola, Tuscola and

    Sullivan, home to about 4,500 conservative,

    rural Amish who strive to be not conformed

    to this world. Their presence, combined

    with their more progressive English neigh-

    bors, creates an intriguing cultural blend of

    the old and the new. The two factions are

    respectful of one anothers differences and

    together have created a haven for tourism.

    Arthur, whose motto is youre a stranger

    only once, is in the heart of Amish Country,

    10 miles west of I-57. The vibrant central

    shopping district in the downtown district

    is chock-full of Amish-owned or operated

    shops selling handcrafted clothes, custom

    cabinetry, home furnishings and unique

    gifts. Discover these items and take the time

    to visit with shopkeepers to learn more about

    their lifestyle. Most Amish-owned businessesare closed on Sundays.

    Arthur doesnt have any chain restau-

    rants. Instead, locally-owned eateries serve

    lovingly prepared comfort food. For a treat,

    stop by Dicks Pharmacy for a world fa-

    mous soda.

    Arthur hosts several annual festivals and

    ongoing events, such as the Downtown Craft

    Market, held the third Saturday of every

    month with an array of crafts and antiques.

    On Saturday, June 1, come out for the

    annual Strawberry Jam Festival, which fea-

    tures live music, strawberry treats of every

    kind, crafts, games and more.

    Arthur will play host to about 30,000 on

    Saturday, June 29, for Arthurs Freedom

    Celebration and Fireworks. The annual

    event features reworks, craft shows, pa-rades, food and more.

    Other events are scheduled throughout

    the summer, such as the Annual Moultrie-

    Douglas County Fair, July 7-13. For a com-plete schedule of activities, visit www.illinois-

    amishcountry.com.

    While Arthur is considered the heart of

    Amish Country, Arcola is home to the larg-

    est Amish community in Illinois.

    The Illinois Amish Museum at Rockome

    Gardens in Arcola offers an in-depth

    introduction to the Old Order lifestyle.

    In addition to the museum, stroll through

    Rockomes extensive gardens, visit the shops,

    or enjoy a family-style meal at the restaurant.

    Tours of Amish homes and farms can also

    be arranged.

    For those in the market for Amish furni-

    ture, Arcola has plenty of options at its vari-

    ous furniture dealers.

    The community also schedules numerous

    events throughout the year. On June 7 and8, Raggedy Ann and Andy enthusiasts will

    visit the small town that was the boyhood

    home of the creator of the Raggedy Annphenomenon, Johnny Gruelle.

    On June 15, the Pop the Top Festival will

    feature a car show in Downtown Arcola,

    adjacent to The One and Only Moomaw

    America Hippie Memorial. Plus, check out

    the15 beautiful new murals painted by the

    famous Walldogs, celebrating Arcola history.

    Horse Progress Days will showcase new-

    ly-manufactured and modied horse-drawn

    equipment July 5 and 6. Highlights include

    eld demonstrations, educational seminars,

    a parade of breeds, pony pulls, sheep herd-

    ing demonstrations and more.

    Arcola has the distinction as being

    Broom Corn Capital of the World. The

    Broom Corn Festival on Sept. 6-8 will cel-

    ebrate that honor with broom activities, artsand crafts, free entertainment, great food, a

    parade, 5K or 10K races and more.

    One of the oldest communities in Mis-

    immigrants in the early 1800s. Located just

    west of the Mississippi River about 80 miles

    from St. Louis, the area includes Perryville,

    Frohna, Altenburg, Brazeau and Farrar.

    In Frohna, the Saxon Lutheran Memo-

    rial, an outdoor history museum set in a log

    cabin village, highlights the pioneering spiritof the early immigrants from Germany who

    settled Perry County.

    The historic working farm and home was

    the home of Wilhelm and Christian Bergt,

    two brothers who participated in the 1839

    immigration from Saxony Germany. Today

    the site is listed on the National Registry of

    Historic Places and consists of 15 buildings,

    seven of which are historic log cabins dating

    from 1820 to 1840.

    On Saturday, June 29, the memorial will
