The Dixie Highway is an Historic Route that
originated as the Vincennes Trace, and later, called
Hubbard’s trail.
In Illinois several groups come together every year
to "Cruise" the Dixie from Blue Island to Momence.
Many of the cars are classics, ranging from Model
A Ford's to anything from the present. It's kind of a
"Run What You Brung" if you will. Stops are made
along the way in several of the cities and everyone
has a great time while celebrating a piece of
history.
The stopping spot in Chicago Heights this year
will be The Union Street Gallery (1527 Otto
Blvd.)
Inside the gallery will be refreshments and an
exhibits including one on historic Lincoln
Highway - which paired with Dixie Highway
gives Chicago Heights her nickname -
Crossroads of the Nation.
Come on by to see the cars come through and
experience some Chicago Heights history inside
our fantastic art gallery.
Saturday June, 18th
Gallery open from 9AM to 4PM
Cars come by approximately 10m-Noon
