The Santa Jose Church, commonly called the Plaza Church, has stood in San Jose since 1826. This was at a time when 1826 the church was sometimes located in the center of the town plaza. The 1926 alignment of the Mother Road runs on the south side of the church. There is supposed to be a Santa Fe Trail Marker near the church, but I didn't spot it.

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.
