In 1994 the Heritage Center purchased, renovated and moved into the 1926 Holy Family Catholic church building. You can't miss this building entering town from the east, it's on the corner of 9th and Old Highway 66. I love these local museums, but limited hours are the norm.

xThis side of the cornerstone lists the names of the founding trustees of the church, and the name of the contractor that built it.

xThe other side of the cornerstone shows the name of the church and the date it was built.

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.
