In the 1920s, this section of Illinois Route 4 was being poured. During the curing of the Portland cement, a wild turkey (it's assumed it was one turkey), came out of the fields and left its footprints in what would later become the most famous road in the World.

This is perhaps one of the most unusual natural and man-made Route 66 attractions on the entire route.

The tracks have been outlined in a painted box and marked with a sign so travelers can find them along the route.
