Here We Are...On Route 66 provides the fascinating histories of iconic landmarks and cultural touchstones associated with America's most famous highway—and celebrates lesser-known gems just off the beaten path.

Spanning nearly 2,500 miles and eight states - Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California - America's Main Street has given rise to a colorful assortment of roadhouses, motels, greasy spoons, roadside amusements, and breathtaking natural scenery. Acclaimed Route 66 historian Jim Hinckley offers a carefully curated selection of these sites, ranging from the iconic to the revelatory.

Arranged by classic Route 66 topics, it is a beautifully produced history rather than a guidebook. Each spread gives you a different 66 site or attraction, along with a concise and authoritative history illustrated with colorful photography, evocative historical imagery, and collectibles like postcards, ads, and more. Topics include:

  • Towns and Cities
  • Natural Wonders
  • Roadside Attractions
  • Eateries
  • Motels and Hotels
  • Music, Film, and TV

Hinckley is perhaps the most internationally recognized authority on the subject of America’s Main Street. This collection offers you the stories behind Route 66 icons such as Baxter Springs and Tucumcari, Meramec Caverns, Arroyo Seco Byway, Berghoff’s and the Oatman Hotel, Munger Moss and Wigwam Motel—and dozens more. Hinckley also treats you to a fresh look at lesser-known but deserving attractions.

Route 66 is nearly a century-old embodiment of the classic American highway. Written by an acknowledged authority on the subject, wonderfully illustrated, and presented in a manner that allows you to dip in and out, Here We Are...On Route 66 is a must-have for your Route 66 bookshelf.
