Drawing from the documentary film series Route 66: The Untold Story of Women on the Mother Road by project director Katrina Parks, the traveling exhibit combines large-format interpretive panels, audiovisual materials, and educational activities designed for youth and family audiences. Together, these elements invite visitors to explore how Route 66 shaped American history, culture, and identity through the stories of the people who lived, worked, and traveled along it.

From the glow of neon signs to the steady hum of tires on open pavement, every mile of Route 66 tells a story. For nearly a century, the road has drawn visitors from around the world and continues to hold countless stories waiting to be uncovered.

The Route 66 Centennial Traveling Exhibit is funded in part through a grant from the New Mexico Tourism Department and with generous support from the Octavia Fellin Public Library, Grants Main Street, WHEELS museum, and many other institutions. The exhibit will continue to travel to communities along the Mother Road, highlighting local histories while connecting them to the broader national story.
