Birthplace of Route 66 Slipping Into the Circle Inn BIRTHPLACE OF ROUTE 66 SLIPPING INTO THE CIRCLE INN IN BOURBON, MISSOURI PAGE12 ROUTE 66 IN ILLINOIS , 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 X,-X 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. We're proud to be part of Route 66, and nowhere is that more apparent than at the Route 66 Museum and Research Center, inside the Lebanon-Laclede County Library. The museum features authentic recreations of a 1950s diner and gas station; it also has antique cars, photos, memorabilia, original maps, books, magazines, videos, and more. Get a quick overview of the highway's heritage, or explore more in-depth all 3,500-square-feet. The museum is located at 915 S. Jefferson Avenue, and admission is free.

  • Interview with Buz Waldmire in Springfield, Illinois
    Buz Waldmire: Springfield, IL Transcribed by Nora Hickey TABLE OF CONTENTS Origins of Waldmire Road – Dad’s background – origins of Dad’s restaurants and food products (Crusty Curs, Cozy Dog, Chili-wich) – first Cozy Dog restaurant on 6th St. – presence of interstate in 1960’s – first customers/business in restaurant – South 6th St in general – area and restaurant during Buz’s young adulthood – travelers at the restaurant in ‘60’s – transition of restaurant ownership from Dad to Buz – Route 66 business – family involvement in R66 – Bob Waldmire (brother) – Bob in IL – Bob as artist – Bob and R66 – Bob and Hackberry, AZ – Bob as defining R66 persona. DAVID DUNAWAY I’m wondering how you came to live on Waldmire Road in Rochester? BUZ WALDMIRE Well, this dates back prior to the 911 system, and when there wasn’t a 911 system and there was an emergency the local ambulances or fire departments pretty much knew where everyone lived. When they went into a 911 system, and I don’t know what was involved with that, if they had to pass legislation or whatever, but they set it up they said well, where do these people live, how do we give them an address? And somebody says, I know let’s call the power company! So they called the electricity company, and they had specific records and street locations for every transformer that they hung throughout the county and in the area. It just so happened that my dad was really one of the first people out here, so when the power company came out and hung the transformer and put in the electric for the house way back in the woods, they identified it as Waldmire Road.

MICHAEL WALLIS: My first summer in New Mexico, I didn’t have a car up there in Taos. I walked. Every other day I walked from the Wurlitzer Foundation to the post office, which was of course a big gathering place for everyone to get their mail. I carried a huge sycamore stick to literally beat dogs off of me. They finally learned. They were savage. I love animals, but these dogs were after my ass, and I just had to whack them a few times. Here I am again, an idealistic writer.

  • Cultural Heritage
    Cultural Heritage Arizona has a unique landscape full of canyons and caves formed by prehistoric phenomena. These canyons, caves, and fossils influenced Native American culture and customs. Far from the teepees or lodges seen elsewhere in the country, Arizona is home to many well-preserved cliff dwellings, pit houses, and petroglyph sites, where the ancestral tribes of Arizona lived, worked, and worshipped. Centuries later, the Spanish conquistadors and missionaries established presidios and missions, forever changing the cultural and religious landscape of the area. As a part of New Spain, Arizona became part of independent Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican Revolution, until the Mexican-American War and the Gadsden Purchase added the territory to the US in the mid-1800s. Before long, miners with gold fever began prospecting the land in hopes of striking at rich; pioneers seeking religious freedom spread throughout the territory in hopes of finding peace; and ranchers looking for a prosperous life beyond the ruins of a country ravaged by Civil War became the cowboys of legend. Unfortunately, the US’s period of westward expansion was also fraught with conflict, and US Army forts began to dot the landscape, as they attempted to bring the area, including the Native Americans and lawless gunslingers, under US dominion. Finally, on February 14, 1912, Arizona became the 48th State in the US. This list of sites pertaining to these people and events is in no way exhaustive but gives a good foundation to experience Arizona’s rich history throughout
