    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.

  • 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.
