Route 66: Traveler's Guide and Roadside Companion

Here is a state-by-state description of Route 66, with an emphasis on the stories behind the sights you see. It's illustrated with 1930s-era auto club maps adapted to show the path of modern freeways but still evoking the spirit of the old road. Like the road itself, this book embraces both the happy and sad moments of its history and the experiences of its travellers.

The book supplies descriptions of towns and cities along the way with places to visit, places to avoid and places of historical interest. Included in the book is information on mini-tours, photography tips, a planning section, and more.

Route 66 Dining & Lodging Guide

The National Historic Route 66 Federation is a worldwide, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and saving Route 66. The guide is prepared by 28 National Historic Route 66 Federation members who belong to its Adopt-A-Hundred Program. Each program member travels his or her 100 mile section at least once every two years visiting and evaluating the dining and lodging establishments along their stretch of the road. A strict list of criteria is used for evaluation and their reviews are completely objective.

The result of their efforts is this guide with over 300 selections, reviews and prices covering all eight states. Particularly valuable for use in the small towns along the route, the guides will also help you discover historic places to eat and sleep.
