Got this message this morning, thanks for sharing it with us

Hi—John Paget here, the filmmaker behind Route 66: The Main Street of America.

We just posted this archival Reel featuring Martin Milner at the Ambler-Becker Station in 1996 and a glimpse of Odell station

Well that’s a wrap on Red Carpet Corridor Weekend! We had a great turnout, beautiful weather, and couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support. Special thanks to St Paul school for the great food booth and Dirty Pop Stop for the delicious drinks!

Just because the weekend is over, the fun doesn’t stop! We are now full swing into the traveling season! We are open full time now for the season! Every day we will be at the station 10:00am-4:00pm to sell you your favorite soda, souvenirs, and tell you all about our little town! Stop by and see us soon and continue the 100th anniversary celebration of the Mother Road!
