East < GO > West

This 1925 cottage style gas station is just a couple hundred feet east of the Niangua River bridge. The little station is kind of hiding in the trees, so you need to be looking for it. The windows on either side of the door on the front have been boarded up. There's a stone chimney on the west side.

GPS: 37.371581, -92.864966

At first glance most people will probably miss the fact that this little station sits on the edge of a steep slope down to a creek. It's steep enough that there is a door of sorts on the east end of the lower level. On the main level and gables there's a boarded up window on both ends of the station.

Just west of the station there's a small concrete bridge crossing the little creek.

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.
