About this episode
Established in 1926 as one of America’s OG highways, Route 66 linked over 2,000 miles of the country from Illinois to California. Although long since decommissioned, in today’s episode, we make eight stops along the iconic route from mansions to battlefields to visit old haunts of the past.Sources:Urge Congress to Support National Historic Trail Designation for Route 66NPS Preservation Program
