Louis, MO 63367 . 314-625-8267 This photo shows the first cloverleaf interchange west of the Mississippi River nearing completion. Finished in 1932 at a cost of $37,000, the red granite-faced bridge is at Highway 66 (Watson Road) and Lindbergh Boulevard, south of Kirkwood, Missouri. The February 1932 issue of Missouri Motor News explained how it works, "Traffic desiring to turn from one road on to the other uses a paved circle or ramp constructed at each corner of the intersection. All left turns are prohibited, and neither is traffic allowed to cross either road. The necessity for left turns is eliminated by constructing the drives so that traffic makes two right turns. It is expected that drivers may be slightly confused the first time they use this structure, but it is neither complicated nor difficult. The one important thing to remember is that in place of making a left turn, the driver of the vehicle goes over or under the bridge and then makes two right turns." • • Step Back in Time at ROUTE Nostalgia 66 Gift Shop Route 66 Collectibles MOTORS @ - Automobilia - Signs (All 8 States) ~e~ Porcelain Signs T-Shirts Route 66 Tin Signs • Posters ___......"."•-•.

During our annual Association election, these officers were retained for another two-year term: Ron Robb, President; Tommy Pike, Vice President;Freeman McCullah, Treasurer; and Herman Heironimous, Secretary. Also, the following members were elected to the Association's Board of Directors: Linda Bresnahan, Cuba; Henry Gerdes, St. Louis; Jane Herndon, Republic; Bill Huxel,Union; Karla Wilkerson, Marshfield. We urge anyone with questions, ideas, or a desire to help the Association to contact a member of the Board in your area. (See page 4.) We want to thank the folks at Mrs. O'Mealey's for a great lunch, and a special thank you to our guest speaker Dan Fortner. Dan entertained us with personal stories and humorous recollections of his years as owner of A&W restaurants in Rolla and Springfield, both on Old Route 66. This year's Annual Motor Tour will be held September 12-14. It will begin in the St. Louis area and continue west through Joplin and Kansas into Oklahoma. To help with the tour, contact Jane Dippel or Kent Sanderson (see page 4). We encourage you to mark your calendar now to plan to be a part of your Association's Event of the Year! The Missouri Department of Transportation has indicated to us that "Historic Route 66" exit signs on Interstate 44 will be in place across the state this April. These signs will direct travelers off the "big street" to the "Main Street."Also in April, the state expects to execute the Association's lease on the triangular piece of property at Kearney & Glenstone in Springfield. Plans are afoot for a Missouri Route 66 informational kiosk at the site. In response to efforts by Laclede County residents (see Spring 1996 issue), Missouri House of Representatives Beth Long has introduced House Bill 94 which has been referred to the House Transportation Committee and is awaiting a hearing date. It reads: "All highways and roadways, and portions thereof, within this state which constituted the original United States Highway 66, as determined by the Missouri Department of Transportation, shall be renamed "Route 66" along those portions ...and no political subdivision shall designate such portions otherwise." We will, of course, follow the progress of the bill and keep you informed. The annual6.6M Route 66 Run, open to all, will be May 3 in Pacific. Prizes for all age brackets. (314) 451-3890 for details. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jerry Richard, co-founder of the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona, who died January 22 in an airplane crash. At the service, a friend spoke,"I knew Jerry Richard.What a nice thought."

  • Route 66 in Oklahoma: a Historic Context Review
    Route 66 in Oklahoma: A Historic Context Review A Perspective on Topics and Sources for Archives Collections and Oral History Studies This document suggests topics and ideas for additional research along Oklahoma’s portion of Route 66. Primarily, the review is intended to assist researchers collecting information about Route 66 by collecting oral histories and organizing research projects. This outline may also be used to encourage the preservation of archival materials and artifacts. The topical headings are random in order. I. Waterways crossing or near Route 66 A. The waterways that crossed or came very near the roadway including bridges, ferries, low water crossing, and other roadway features that are related to waterways. Waterways were the most important landmark for early native travelers and for early explorers. The same waterways continue to be important for the obstacles for the original and later roadways. 1. Neosho/Grand River 2. Grand River 3. Verdigris River 4. Arkansas River 5. Deep Fork River (Canadian River) 6. North Canadian River (Now the Oklahoma River as of 2006) 7. South Canadian River (Sometimes just called the Canadian River) 8. Red River 9. Deep Fork Creek in Oklahoma City 10. Cat and Dog Creeks in Claremore Waterways may be researched at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation or the Corps of Engineers office. The Works Progress Administration Federal Writers Project papers are available at the Oklahoma Historical Society and may offer additional insight into the changes in Oklahoma waterways. II.

  • Beacon Motel
    Same Location ~!IIiiiiJi'" for 50 Years! Historic Route 66 stretches across the U.S. from Chicago to Los Angeles. Along the way, in Lebanon, Missouri is a growing popular landmark stop for any history enthusiast, tourist, or local Ozark resident. Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets started in the outlet business in 1972 as an outlet for locally made Walnut Bowls. Ida and Rea Reid, founders, began their entrepreneurship operating a motel in the 1960's called the Capri Motel which was located right along Route 66, known today as Interstate 44.. They sold the Capri Motel in 1966 and along with their sons, Rod and Randy, started a new business in 1972 called the Shepherd Hills Gift Shop which was leased as a part of the Shepherd Hills Motel and happened to be located in virtually the same spot as the Capri Motel. Later, as they began expanding, they bought a portion of the motel as well as the gift shop and began construction of their current building in 1999. In the meantime, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those in Osage Beach, MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY , and brought in other quality products to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery, Denby Pottery, and of course Case XX pocketknives--making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com. Lebanon is one of the best places to see the Mother Road, which was officially named right here in Missouri. You can drive a 5-mile section of the original road, and commemorative Route 66 signs will help guide your drive.

    Everyone knows the best place to get a look at St. Louis is through one of 32 windows at the top of the Gateway Arch. Luckily, the trams that carry passengers to the observation deck 630 feet in the air ​ reopened Wednesday after having been closed since November for upgrades. ​ But the Arch’s view isn’t the only one in town. There are others to appreciate, with many providing a look at our favorite metal monument. We came up with 50 St. Louis-area locations to admire the scenic surroundings. Most are open to the public, some offer a look at downtown and others show off nothin’ but nature. Do you have your own great photos of these views? Or maybe you have more suggestions for our list?
