LINCOLN, Ill. - Larry Van Bibber has donated $15,000 for the renovation of the Mill on old Route 66.
Last year, Van Bibber donated $12,000 to move the world’s largest covered wagon from Divernon to Lincoln.
In April, Van Bibber received the Friend of Tourism Award from the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bu-reau of Logan County for bringing the covered wagon to Lincoln. Efforts to save the Mill have garnered local, national, and international attention.
The Route 66 Heritage Foundation of Logan County also recently received a $500 donation from Ernie Edwards of the Pig Hip Restaurant and Museum as a result of his 90th birthday and Broadwell sesquicentennial celebration, and recently received a $12,000 loan from Regions Bank in Lincoln.
