Sangamon County Historical Society Program - April 21
Growing up on Route 66 will be discussed by Mary Alice Davis, who along with her family grew up living at the A Lincoln Tourist Court in 1945 as gas rationing ended. Her parents, William and Helen Posgate named the motel after the 16th president. She and her brother Robert grew up at the motel, which never closed except for an hour on Christmas Day to have Christmas dinner. Davis serves on the Board of Directors and is a past president of the Historical Society. She served as chairman of the Echoes of Yesteryear Cemetery Walk at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
