Route 66 State: Missouri

Introduction

Missouri’s nickname, “Show Me State,” may have begun in 1899 when Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver stated, ‘I’m from Missouri and you’ve got to show me.”

Missouri is known as the birthplace of Route 66.

We have collected more brochures, flyers, posters, and public annoucements from this state than the others we traveled in Part 1. Among them, St. Louis is at the top. You can feel the celebration of the Centennial Route 66 if you travel along the towns in the state. And yet, many events are upcoming in May, June, July, and later.
