Oklahoma Route 66 - Canute

CANUTE, OKLAHOMA. The Cotton Boll Motel in Canute was opened in 1960 by two former cotton farmers, Woodrow and Viola Penick. Their new business was successful until the interstate bypassed the town in the 1970's, and they sold the motel in 1979. The new owners turned the motel into a private residence, but the old neon sign is still there.
