R-88 travels through a gently rolling countryside of mixed farm fields and woods. In places, large oaks arch over the road. There are several very beautiful barns built close to the road. Near the south end, you’ll see a handsome, brick Victorian farmhouse in excellent condition. Along the route you can also see St. John’s Church built in 1884, the beautifully-kept Cold Spring Cemetery dating back to the 1840s and an historical marker commemorating Abraham Lincoln’s service in the Blackhawk War.
