The past comes to life in Granite City at It's Electric Neon Sign Park! Home to three gorgeously restored neon signs from Granite City's past as well as two larger than life murals and a love lock Chain of Rocks Bridge model, the Neon Sign Park celebrates the history of Granite on America's Mother Road. Each sign, the Hudson Jewelers, Reese Drug Store, and Washington Theatre, belonged to well-known businesses in the city and date back to the early 20th century- you can read a brief history of each business on the plaques at their base.

Take a drive through the Last 100 Miles of Route 66 in Illinois and make a stop at the park, put a love lock on the bridge, and visit the whimsical businesses downtown- the park is a great photo opportunity day or night, and the neon signs are on from dusk 'til dawn!
