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
Did
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.
The
small sacristy on the west side of the church was added in the 1920s.
The cemetery wraps around the the church to include the west, north
and east sides of the site. The little church was placed on NRHP in
1995
