Overview

"Route 66 Connected" is an exposition focusing on the tangible and intangible Route 66 heritage. Considering the historic roadside facilities a “living legacy,” the presentation explores their tangible, symbolic, and ethnic features to uncover how they preserve or reinterpret the historic narratives of the Route 66 era.
