A gazebo commemorating the Lincoln Highway will go up this year on the northwest corner of Illinois Highway 31 and Wilson Street, the City Council decided last week.
Officials approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition and Dixon, its lead agency, that will allow the coalition to erect the 14-foot-wide gazebo, which will have plaques explaining the history of the first transcontinental roadway that went along Illinois 31 and 38. A similar gazebo will be built in downtown Geneva. Both towns will pay $3,000 each for the gazebos and will agree to maintain them, the agreement states.
