Just outside Henry’s Rabbit Ranch, in the same town of Staunton, Illinois, there’s another quirky roadside surprise: a giant green-and-yellow rocking chair, proudly marked with a US 66 shield.
Standing tall in a gravel parking lot next to a flea market, this oversized chair isn’t just a fun photo opportunity — it’s one of those delightfully odd stops that give the Route its unique personality. You won’t find plaques or crowds, just a big rocking chair waiting to be noticed.
It’s the kind of place where you pull over for a quick picture and end up spending more time than planned browsing antiques, vintage finds, and strange treasures from the past.
Not as famous as other landmarks, maybe — but that’s exactly what makes it feel like a true Route 66 moment: spontaneous, quirky, and quietly unforgettable.
