Get Your Kicks at the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, Oklahoma!

Oklahoma is home to the longest stretch of the "Mother Road" with a little under 400 miles of Route 66 AKA "Will Rogers Highway" in the Sooner State. While the interstate and other forms of travel have eclipsed the once-popular roadway it still remains iconic and people still enjoy driving and vacationing along Route 66 to this day. There's a ton of history on Route 66 and it's the most known and celebrated roadway in the U.S.

Originally Route 66 ran a total of 2,448 miles and went through several states. Starting in Chicago, Illinois and making its way through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona then ending in Santa Monica California. Out of all the states that have miles of Route 66 running through it, Oklahoma has the most. Not only that, we also have some of the most popular attractions and sights along U.S. Highway 66.

If you take the drive through Oklahoma on Route 66 you'll get to see famous landmarks like the Round Barn in Arcadia, the Blue Whale of Catoosa, the historic Coleman Theater in Miami, and of course the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, OK. If you've never been to the museum it houses one of the largest collections of Route 66 memorabilia around. You can learn the history of the "Mother Road" and take a step back in time.

There's a ton of great food, stops, and shops along Route 66 in Oklahoma. I'm thinking this Spring/Summer the family and I will pile into the car and take the trip. I've driven several miles of the U.S. 66 but never the entire thing from one side to the other. It would be an awesome family vacation and we'll get to see parts of the state we've never visited before. Sure it'll cost a few bucks with gas prices what they are, but it's only 400 miles or so.
