Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. I drove the entire length of old 66 in 2012, and invite you to follow along!

Missouri Route 66 - Springfield
Rest Haven Court neon
Vacancy!
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. They built the original
Rest Haven Court in 1947, and their neon sign followed in 1953. Today,
the business is convenient to both new I-44 and old US 66. Hopefully, the vacancy neon will be lit at the old motel for your Route 66 trip.
