Welcome to the

Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66

The Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66 is not related to any other museums or "hall of fames"of any type music anywhere.

The Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66 has purchased a three story building in downtown Joliet, IL that is undergoing renovation.  The building will include exhibit space, a performance music hall and the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66 Music Hall of Fame, gift shop, and it is the home of our Road To Rock Radio online streaming radio station.  All of this is made possible through museum memberships, private and corporate sponsors and donors and grants.  We are thankful for everyone's support in this historic mission to create a home for Illinois Music.  The building will be a place to house historic artifacts, honor musicians and bands with Illinois ties and educate visitors of our rich music history right here in Illinois.  The museum is not affiliated with any other museums, music related or not, but is a non profit organization in its own.  We hope you will explore this website to learn more about our mission.
