Route 66 Monument & Time Capsule Unveiled | Santa Fe News

A new 16-foot double-sided LED monument honoring Route 66’s centennial just debuted at the Route 66 Casino Hotel, featuring the iconic shield and a QR code that tells the Mother Road’s story from the Laguna Pueblo’s perspective. Created by VOX Industries and artist Stan Carroll, it’s part of a massive public art initiative celebrating the highway’s legacy—and includes a time capsule buried with artifacts from the casino and pueblo to preserve 2026 New Mexico culture for future generations. The unveiling kicked off a weekend of Route 66 festivities, complete with a 5K run, car show, and live performances from The O’Jays and Jay Leno.
