The Franciscan Lodge was built in 1950 but the original owners, Auro & Nellie Cattaneo, kept the place only one year before selling it and moving back to Gallup.

x In better days the neon sign with its very cool arrow over the front door beckoned travelers on Route 66 to stop for a night's rest.

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.
