From the Chicago Film Archives' Chicago Public Library Collection comes a 25-minute travelogue from 1957 of a "small family [taking] a road trip across Illinois" and the various sights they come across, including Starved Rock State Park, Pere Marquette State Park, and the bank of the Rock River, amongst many places. Won't you join them?
