The 100th Anniversary of Route 66

from History of the Lou - NewsRadio 1120 KMOX

The Mother Road turns 100 this year, and the Missouri History Museum is putting on an impressive celebration. Join Public Historian Andrew Wanko as he talks to Sue about the history of Rt. 66, and what you can see locally and in Missouri if you decide to drive it yourself. Wanko co-directed an Emmy-winning documentary entitled, "Show Me 66: Main Street through Missouri" for Route 66's 90th anniversary, and it will be shown during this year's celebration.
