Day 1:
Murphysboro
Murphysboro is Illinois’ BBQ capital. BBQ aficionados have long known the trip here is more than worth it. The small town is perhaps the only in the country with two Barbecue Hall of Famers. In addition to the BBQ history, experience a booming craft beer movement that is vibrant and exciting. Explore a variety of shops and the General John A. Logan Museum.
Grab dinner at Pat’s BBQ before checking in to Hull House Inn.
