The Mother Road – A Legendary Part of American History
Established in 1926, historic U.S. Route 66 became one of America's best-known highways.
The original route connected Chicago, Illinois, with Santa Monica, California, passing through communities and landscapes across eight states.
During the twentieth century, Route 66 became closely associated with automobile travel, family vacations, roadside diners, gas stations, motels, and the freedom of the open road.
The highway also became a symbol of American popular culture, inspiring music, books, television, and generations of road trip adventures.
Although Route 66 was removed from the federal U.S. Highway System in 1985, portions of the historic route remain popular destinations for travelers and automotive enthusiasts.

For many collectors, Route 66 signs represent more than an old highway number.
They recall vintage automobiles, roadside attractions, and the memorable experiences of exploring America by road.
