Valentine Station is the latest incarnation of this old gas station along Route 66 in Valentine Arizona. When we first saw this place it looked like it had seen better days so the reopening as a gift shop is good news. It may have been built in the 40s or 50s. Judging by the size of the building and the number of windows along the front I wonder if it was also a cafe.

xThe Great Western was behind a fence in 2015, but the sign was still looking pretty good. I have no idea what the "Great Western" was.

x 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
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
