The following airfields I can recommend for fuel/lunch stopovers:

- Seneca County Airport, Tiffin, OH
- Porter County Airport, Valparasio, IN (local EAA chapter set up for Oshkosh-bound planes with cheap breakfast)
- Koritz Field, Rochelle, IL
- Turner's Falls, MA
Having said that, in a Cirrus, you should be able to do it direct (or thereabouts) in less than a day's flying each way. If you have an IR there is some credence in landing at Oshkosh in the IFR arrival procedure, and avoiding the hurry of the VFR brigade.
I was doing it low and slow and VFR, hence the many stops.
Have a good trip!
