  • Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary

    Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary

    Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary Full of history, culture, shopping and great sporting activities, Joliet is the place where everyone can play! Start exploring with a visit to the Joliet Area Historical Museum, Route 66 Welcome Center, Rialto Square Theatre, Chicagoland Speedway & Route 66 Raceway, Autobahn Country Club, or attend a Joliet Slammers Baseball game. Try your luck at Harrah's Joliet and Hollywood Casinos or maybe a round of golf at one of Joliet's four beautiful golf courses. Visit the Splash Station Water Park or do some shopping at the Louis Joliet Mall. The city's origins date back to 1833, but it wasn't until 1852 that it was incorporated officially as the city of Joliet. The origin of the name of the city is generally believed to be in part to honor explorer Louis Jolliet. It is the 3rd largest city in Illinois, with a population of 149,395 as of 2016. Joliet is part of the original 1926 alignment of Route 66 in Illinois. The Joliet alignment (most of which is currently designated as IL 53) remained until it was bypassed in 1940 with a new alignment that ran through Plainfield. Portions of Route 66 in Joliet also parallel the I&M Canal (Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail) and the Lincoln Highway. The portion of Route 66 traveling from Joliet to Wilmington was placed on to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. ATTRACTIONS: Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center Stop in to the Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center to view the free, interactive Route 66 Experience exhibit, located at the crossroads of Route 66 and Lincoln Highway.

Great Great Nation Deserves A The National Endowment for the Arts is a public agency dedicated to supporting excellence in the arts, both new and established; bringing the arts to all Americans; and providing leadership in arts education. Established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government, the Endowment is the nation’s largest annual funder of the arts, bringing great art to all 50 states, including rural areas, inner cities and military bases. Rufino Tamayo's Retrato de Olga (Portrait of Olga), 1964, was part of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art's exhibition Tamayo: A Modern Icon Reinterpreted.

Since its establishment in 1965, the Arts Endowment has awarded more than $4 billion in grants to organizations and artists residing in all 50 states and the six U.S. jurisdictions, in communities large and small. Throughout its history, the NEA has played a transformative and sustaining role in the development of regional theater, opera, dance, orchestras, museums, and other arts—both contemporary and traditional—that Americans now enjoy.
