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.
Also in the Gardens is a bronze bust of E.L. Dale atop of a brick pedestal
with a bronze plaque and tribute to Soroptimist International of Carthage,
MO which was founded in 1948.
According to the plaque on the front of the base, this sculpture is
a memorial to all Soroptimist "Past Present and Future" who
have made a difference in the lives of the women of Carthage since 1948.
