Little School Museum
This one-room country school museum takes visitors to another time when the education of rural America was in its infancy and those who were fortunate enough to attend learned the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. The school was in use during the age of the one room schools in the rural Midwest when just getting to and from school was a challenge.

Odell Subway Tunnel
Across from St. Paul’s Church is an entrance to a 1937 pedestrian tunnel under Route 66, known locally as the “subway”. The entrance was sealed in the 1950s. The first 3 steps and the railing were replaced in the spring of 2006 by the Route 66 Association of Illinois.
The fact that this tunnel was a necessity to safely cross Route 66 is a surprise to anone standing on the quiet corner today. It is a dramatic reminder of the importance of Route 66 as a national travel corridor.

Historic Reddick High School Gymnasium
Built in 1951 by Clarence Gall, this gymnasium is up for Historic Preservation in Kankakee County Illinois due to its rare engineering and architectural design.

For 37 years it was home to the Reddick High School Bulldogs sports teams in the R.U.C.E. (Reddick, Union Hill, Campus and Essex) Community School District and later for the Reddick Grade School as part of the Herscher School District.
