Drivin'
the Dixie

Homewood Heritage Committee invite the communities
located along historic Dixie Highway, from Blue Island
to Momence, to work together to promote the history of
the road known throughout the years as
Hubbard's Trace, Vincennes Trail and Dixie Highway. The

the early years of the state of Illinois. Vintage car
owners parade through the various towns from early

preserved by these towns. People in these communities
gather throughout the day and line the streets just to
get a glimpse of the amazing array of vintage cars and
other vehicles.
