Amtrak’s “City of New Orleans” runs between Chicago and New Orleans. This and future videos will show some of the stops along the way and places and things to do that may appeal to travelers of all ages interested in the midwest small and medium sized towns and cities.
This video focuses on the Mattoon stop and specifically the village of Arthur Illinois. It has become a tourist attraction in recent years because it has a sizable amish community as well as amish merchandise and events. Join me as i walk and ride around Arthur to share some of what you can expect if you decide to make this a stop.
