👻🛣️ HISTORY, LEGEND… OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN? 🛣️👻

What secrets are hiding along the Mother Road? What stories have been whispered for nearly 100 years? And which ones might still be lingering around?

Join us Sunday, Oct. 11, 11 AM–5 PM for the Rt 66 Haunted History Trail at the Pink Elephant Antique Mall & Area 66 Haunted School in Livingston, Illinois! 👻

🚶‍♀️ Walk the trail. Meet the characters. Hear the tales. Discover the stories.

Inspired by 100 years of Route 66 history, legends and lore, characters from the Mother Road’s past will bring their stories to life!

Be sure to grab a cool Trading Card too! Available at each of the 4 Haunted History Trail stops that day!

You get eight Illinois ice cream windows still scooping right now, plus a route to reach them before the shutters come down for winter: hand-dipped cones, thick shakes, and flavor boards long enough to wreck your afternoon plans. 🍦 Pick the closest one, or turn it into one last sweet road trip while the cones are still swirling.
