By 1947 M.S Murrell and L.E. Newman had opened the Murrell Tourist Rooms and Cabins. It was pretty common in the early years of Route 66 for people who owned larger homes to open the house to travelers on a day by day basis.

xIf lodging guests in the main house went well, they sometimes built a few cabins behind the main house to expand their business. These cabins are in back of the big white house on Sophia St.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
