The Cross - Effingham (IL)

5 /5 William Miles: Stunning! Must stop, even if only for a few minutes. I was moved by the statues and size of the cross. Great little visitor center and chapel. It’s all free, but please make a donation to keep it open for all to experience.

5 /5 Aaron J: Really cool to see up close. We have driven past it a hundred times but I realize now seeing it from the Highway does not do it justice. There is no charge for admission! The two volunteers there that day were great. We watched a short film on the construction of the cross and then we were free to go out and look at the cross surrounded by the 10 commandments etched in black marble. There are benches at each commandment stone to sit and reflect if you would like.

5 /5 FFKDTP1: I’d driven past this on the interstate probably 1000 times over the years and finally decided to go check it out today. The grounds are kept in immaculate condition. Perfect sidewalks, shrubbery, the statues and displays are all very nice and well-kept. Large parking area so I can’t imagine parking is ever an issue, visitor center on-site too though I did not attempt to go in so cannot speak on that. Nice quick stop on a drive from city to city…

5 /5 Josh Coconut: Oh wowee! This place rocks! (No pun intended LOL XD!) But seriously though yall. I feel closer to Jesus Christ Or Lord And Savior and My Faith ever since my Pilgrimage. I am not a proud Catholic Man. I AM one. I highly recommend for you and your favorite religious pets!

5 /5 BJ Martin: Beautiful and peaceful place! Small gift shop with bathrooms. A nice break from a very long road trip!
