Historic Route 66 - Day Four

Today was a short sight-seeing day.  Just a few miles from where we are staying is Route 66 State Park.  The park it self is mainly hiking and biking trails with picnic areas, but it has a somewhat troubling history...it also has an excellent Visitor Center on Route 66.

We spent some time chatting with the woman at the desk.  Not only did she give us some great brochures, but she told us specifically what to watch for and what not to miss.  What she gave us also covers the tiny bit of Kansas and part of Oklahoma.

They one of the best museums I've seen.  They have been loaned hundreds of Route 66 artifacts... photos, menus, room keys.  They also have terrific original signs.
