After coming from Dead Man's Curve there is a marker for the Henderson Standard Station about where the 1926 alignment reconnects with the 1940s alignment The station was built in the mid 40s and closed in 1963. Beside the usual gas, oil and tires you could also pick up a candy bar and 6 oz bottle of Coke.

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.
