Have you visited the midwest’s oldest black church in America’s oldest black incorporated town; BROOKLYN, IL? Along Route 66 🤯

After being intentionally ghosted from the Route 66 heritage, Brooklyn was officially inducted back on the Mother Road map this past June! 🎊 Neighbors and partners from near and far showed up to help us celebrate!

Now open to the public! Tours are by appointment only and donation based. All donations go toward preservation efforts. Contact [email protected] to schedule your school, organization, or group tour!

🚨An Emergency Outdoor Warning Siren System is an all-hazards siren system used to warn the general population of potential danger. Sirens are tested on the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. here in Brooklyn. Please do not be alarmed 🚨

What Should I Do if I Hear the Sirens?

If the sirens are activated - and it is not a monthly siren test - the public should see it as a signal to:

-seek shelter
-tune in to radio or television to get information about the type of emergency; instructions and recommendations
-listen to your local media for indications that the emergency is over
