The Sunset Motel has been around since 1959 when Bill and Elaine Pogue started building it. The motel grew over the years as several more guest rooms were added. In 2018 it was still in the same family with the Pogue's son and daughter in law as owners and operators.

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.
