Travel Route 66: A Guide to the History, Sights, and Destinations Along the Main Street of America

Long one of Americaâ€™s most cherished byways, Route 66 remains a popular tourist attraction and travel route for thousands of travelers every year. While stretches of the once-glorious road have been paved over or bypassed by the interstates, the journey from Chicago to Santa Monica along the path of the â€œdouble sixâ€ remains chock-full of unique roadside attractions, spectacular natural landscapes, and fascinating historical landmarks. Communities throughout each of the eight states touched by the â€œMain Street of Americaâ€â€”Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Californiaâ€”have embraced this vital piece of American history and offer a vast array of opportunities to experience the grandeur as well as the lost innocence of the glory days of Route 66.
