Detailed Directions
If you are coming from the East (Chicagoland, Wisconsin, Downstate) you will turn right off U.S. Route 20. From Iowa, you will be turning left off U.S. Route 20.

From the East there are 3 roads to go north the 2-miles from U.S. Route 20 to the Fairgrounds and Parking Areas.

The first road going North is Pecatonica Road, and leads to the business district. If you need gas or food.  However, it is probably the busiest during events.

The second road going North is Grove Road. This comes into town just east of the main entrance.

The third road is Spielman Road. It comes in just west of the main entrance. If traffic is backed up on Pecatonica Road, this is probably your best route.
