This former Richfield gas station is located on Broadway and C Street. It dates to at least 1952 and was still a Richfield Station into the 1970s and perhaps beyond. This is a style of gas station named "oblong box" that appeared on the scene in the 1930s.

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

Did 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.
