- Set to retire at the conclusion of the 2025 model year, over 1.5 million Kia Souls have been sold in the U.S. since 2009
- The Kia Soul’s ongoing popularity and influence on pop culture was fueled by some of the most memorable and effective automotive advertising in the history of the automotive industry
From a humble beginning as a boxy concept vehicle in Kia’s U.S. design studio and continuing through 16 years of passion, the fun and funky Kia Soul urban runabout has always stood out from the crowd. As what most consider the first production vehicle in Kia’s design-led and historic transformation, the Soul has attracted new customers to the brand by projecting the kind of individuality and optimism that appeals to both the young and the young-at-heart. And with Kia’s overall U.S. sales nearly tripling during the Soul’s lifetime, its impact simply cannot be overstated.

Today we’re celebrating the local Midwest Indigenous Peoples and Native American Culture with a great list of historic sites that you simply must visit! Several states celebrate Native American Day at the end of September and early October as a way to honor and celebrate the rich culture and history of the first inhabitants of our nation. While it’s not a federal holiday, it is an important commemoration to connect us with this complex part of US history. Each of these sites holds a special place in preserving history and promoting the healing and connection between indigenous and settler peoples. Here in Illinois, we are on ancestral land belonging to the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Chickasaw Nations. We hope that you’ll add these important museums and cultural historic sites to your next road trip to learn more about their history.
