As one of the first cross-country highways, Route 66 connected refugees from the Dust Bowl to safety in the 1930s, troops to military bases during World War II, and post-war Americans to California and the western states in the 1950s and onwards. It weaves past small towns, big cities, national parks, roadside attractions, and also.
Route 66, a National Treasure of the National Trust, winds its way some 2,400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles.
