Peotone is about 40-50 miles south of Chicago off of I-57. The exit off 57 is Wilmington Road. As far as Hotels go, there maybe something off of I-57 at Wilmington road (county rd 25), I'm not sure. However you can find something a little further North, about 10 minutes, off I-57 and Route 30 in Matteson; or you can find something further south off I-57 about 10 minutes, in the town of Bradley/Bourbonnais.

I don't know if there's anyplace to stay in Peotone. There is at least one hotel in Manteno, the next exit south of Peotone. One more exit South of that is the Bradley exit #315. There are hotels on Rte 50, either north or south of the exit. The fall show usually has alot of unrestored pumps. There is an earlybird period. Not sure of the time, I think it starts at 6:30. Hope to see ya there! Bob
