Sandwich, Illinois

Do you love sandwiches? If you do, you may already be familiar with the town of Sandwich in Illinois, as this place has become a huge tourist attraction over the years. In fact, it's known for its giant sandwich festival and its love affair with all things bread and fillings. And that's all to do with the fact that this town has links to John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich and the inventor of the sandwich.

Although this town was originally called Almon, it was renamed many years later by a train stop liaison who grew up in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Feeling homesick, he decided to bring a bit of home to his new home.
