From destitute migrants fleeing the Dust Bowl to prosperous postwar families on vacation, Route 66 has seen a lot of history. Yesteryear's quirky roadside attractions are largely absent from this stretch, but you can still get a sense of the scenic road's storied past as you drive along quaint main streets featuring retro diners, filling stations and motor courts.
