Get your kicks at the Birthplace of Route 66!

  • Take a virtual trip down the Mother Road through Springfield, Missouri with the City of Springfield’s Route 66 Story Map.
  • Explore local sections of Route 66 and support the local restaurants and retailers.
  • Experience the new Route 66 Food Truck Park on St. Louis Street, just west of the Rail Haven Motel on Glenstone.
  • Step back in time at the History Museum on the Square. Explore eight interactive galleries, including the popular Birthplace of Route 66 permanent exhibit.  Don’t miss Order Up! The Restaurants of Route 66, on temporary exhibit August 3 through November 6, 2022.
