Packed with more than 600 photographs of the Mother Road’s most famous sights, outrageous roadside oddities. Classic neon signs, and memorabilia, Legendary Route 66 offers up a heaping plate full of nostalgia from the heyday of America’s Main Street.
With Route 66 historians Michal Witzel and Gyvel Witzel-Young serving as tour guides, the journey from east to west introduces you to some of the people who lived through Route 66’s glory days- the actress who played Ruthie Joad in The Grapes of Wrath film, a 1950’s carhop, a long-time owner of a Native American trading post. And those who stayed in business long enough to see the road’s resurgence. Also highlighted is the story of the highway’s creation, popularity, and eventual demise.
Come along on this trip down memory lane on America’s Mother Road.
