Get Your Kicks at the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum
Oklahoma is home to the longest stretch of the "Mother Road" with a little under 400 miles of Route 66 AKA "Will Rogers Highway" in the Sooner State.
While the interstate and other forms of travel have eclipsed the once-popular roadway it still remains iconic and people still enjoy driving and vacationing along Route 66 to this day.
There's a ton of history on Route 66 and it's the most known and celebrated roadway in the U.S.
