The little brick Pioneer Motel was built in 1951. It's still standing
and in business. The office building has either been extensively remodeled,
including a lower pitch roof, or completely replaced. There are two buildings
arranged in a L shape with what looks like 12 guest rooms.
The
large neon Pioneer Motel sign is hard to miss.

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.
