History
SBI Route 96 originally followed the modern-day Illinois 96 from Niota south to Kinderhook. In 1941 it was extended south to Hamburg to a historical ferry crossing. The Hamburg ferry stopped running in 1960. In 1950, Illinois 96 was rerouted into Kampsville, where another ferry crossing is located nearby on Illinois Route 108.
