As the world's most famous highway, Route 66 conjures up images of dreamers, road-trippers, migrants, and nomads. On a deeper level, it is a story of escape, triumph, deliverance, and adventure during the best and worst of times. Join Route 66 ambassadors Jim Ross and Shellee Graham as they embark on a generational journey through the legendary highway's birth, life, demise, and renaissance. Experience the events, people, and places that created the route’s legacy, from the Great Depression and Dust Bowl years to memorable mid-century family vacations, when destinies played out and indelible impressions were left on millions. Based on their new book, Route 66: The First 100 Years, this informative presentation illustrates why thousands of Route 66 tourists seek to reimagine those times year after year. The presenters will join remotely.
