Route 66 Museum Aims to Spark Nostalgia in Lebanon Missouri
Lebanon Missouri plans a September opening for a Route 66 museum in a former Kmart now Lebanon Laclede County Library. It will house signs, gas pumps, a soda fountain, a hotel switchboard and rotating antique car displays plus a research center with 650 highway maps dating back to 1915. Jim Powell of the Route 66 Association of Missouri expects strong interest as nostalgia for the historic highway endures. Also featured are travel books highlighting hikes in Wisconsin and waterfalls across the Mid Atlantic states with dozens of falling water names and scenic routes for summer exploration.
