Walking Tour of Lebanon, MO: A Look at the City's Route 66 History

Описание к видео Walking Tour of Lebanon, MO: A Look at the City's Route 66 History

As America expanded west from St. Louis, a road has always run through Lebanon, Missouri. At first it was just a rough Indian trail, as tribes like the Wyota and Osage. During the Civil War that trail became known as the “Wire Road” because of the telegraph lines installed along it between St. Louis and Springfield. Then, in the late 1920's, Route 66 was born and roughly followed that same path the Indians had marked. 66 extended along Lebanon’s south side. Archways proclaiming “Lebanon – Drive In – Our Town, Your Town” were placed over roads leading into town off of the mother road.
