Adventure, sights, festivals, history and
Superman beckon travelers across the Missis-sippi River into Illinois.
Metropolis
Metropolis, Ill., located at Exit 37 on I-24
at the southernmost tip of Illinois, is the of-
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
a $1,000 Superhero Costume Contest. Re-
turning this year will be fan-favorites Mar-
got Kidder and Michael Rosenbaum onJune 8. Fans of all things Man-of-Steel know
her best as Lois Lane from the Superman
lms. Rosenbaum is known for his role as
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
gaming, Metropolis is also home to Harrahs
Metropolis Casino & Hotel.
For more information on Metropolis, visit
www.metropolistourism.com.
Litcheld, Ill.
Experience the nostalgia of three miles 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
began operating in the spring of 1950. It is
now open for the season on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday evenings.
For the outdoor enthusiast, Lake Lou
Yaeger has over 45 miles of beautiful shore-
line with 300 acres of parks. The lake draws
shermen and boaters from both Illinois and
Missouri. Discover the lake on the Fourth of
July during Litchelds huge reworks display
at the lake. From June to September, bass
tournaments are held each Thursday evening
at 5:15 p.m. and are open to the public.

hall of famer B.B. King who will perform onMay 29, and Bob Sagets R rated stand-up
act on June 21.

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.
