Sunflower Station
Old Route 66, Adrian, TX
Phone: 806-538-6380
Fran Hauser's Sunflower Station Gift Shop is wonderful place featuring
all kinds of cool Route 66 themed items and more. If you are on I-40,
get off at exit 22 going east or exit 23 going west. The Sunflower Station
is on the old road on the north side of I-40 right across from the "Midpoint
of Route 66" sign.
Out in front is this older Ford truck that has been busy collecting
hundreds, maybe thousands of names of happy visitors from around the
world. Spend a couple minutes chatting with Fran and it is obvious why
so many travelers on the Mother Road want to leave their mark here.
Fran owned and operated the Midpoint Cafe next door for many years,
after she sold it she opened the Sunflower Station. She owned the cafe
when the movie "Cars" came out and was the inspiration for
"Flo" in movie.
The
midpoint sign is a favorite photo-op for Route 66 travelers.
