“Big Things In A Small Town” That is Casey’ Illinois’ claim to fame, and the reason we stopped off on our way home from Wisconsin. Scattered around the downtown area of this town of about 3,000 located just off I-70 between St. Louis and Indianapolis. Casey only has one traffic light, and most everything is walking distance from the center of town.

We didn’t visit all of the attractions, and unfortunately didn’t try the ice cream but we did do a pretty reasonable job of visiting the sights.

LOL Looks like you’re trapped!
What an amazing trip through that town.
I probably could have gotten under the trap part but decided that was enough!
It was a very cool place. But hot!
This is definitely a town I would love to visit!!!! Thanks for the tour.
Yes! They even have a “junque” shop you might have enjoyed! It was closed when we were there.
