If you have ever cruised down Route 66, you know it’s more than just a highway—it’s a piece of Americana. As the Mother Road turns 100, Missouri is helping lead the celebration.
The State Historical Society of Missouri has teamed up with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Google Arts & Culture to share stories, photos, and memories from our stretch of Route 66. Show Me Today reporter Matt Pilger sat down with Katherine ‘Katie’ Seale from Research Route 66 to talk about what makes Missouri’s section so unique and how you can explore these stories online.
