Illinois Route 66 - Gardner



GARDNER, ILLINOIS. A little Route 66 town by the railroad, Gardner was founded way back in 1854. Population growth has been steady since WW II, almost doubling, according to the last census. There were 864 citizens in Gardner in 1946, while at least 1,400 crowded the city as of 2010. They're out there somewhere.
     Gardner is famous for its historic two cell jail, and it is worth a visit. I guess if you commit the third crime of the day in Gardner, they just let you go.
