Ben Franklin’s got a new favorite town—and no, it’s not Philadelphia.

It’s Arcola, Illinois:
🧹 Home of the Broomcorn Festival
🎭 Birthplace of Raggedy Ann
🦓 Safari animals meet small-town streets
🌮 Hispanic Cuisine. Everywhere.

This summer, make the trip that’s weird in the best way.
Because let’s face it… It’s an Arcola Thing.
