66 Resources Statewide
Across the state, and even the country, buildings, bridges
and other structures, and even paving materials are linked to the well-known
history of Route 66. These resources
share in the same arc of development and growth, and then decline as interstate
highways moved the traffic, and the money, away. Some are well-known, or at least easily
recognized, by their architecture, vintage, and remaining signage. Others have been disguised through the years
by insensitive updates and additions, and lay waiting either to be restored or
lost. So many others have already been
demolished, even when their history was well documented. This year, we highlighted examples of filling
stations, one of the most iconic features of the Mother Road, with examples of
those that are extant and in good condition, altered, and recently lost.
