Daggett, CA
Daggett dates back to the 1860's. Route 66 runs south of the railroad
tracks on the later alignment of the National Old Trails highway. Most
of the historic sites are north of the tracks on Santa Fe Ave., which
is the original N.O.T. highway.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
