# **ABOUT ROUTE 66**

## 

## 

## INTRODUCTION

Route 66 is one of the most famous highways in the world. But just why
is this road so important, and why should it be preserved? Most of us
are familiar with the road, either from traveling it ourselves, or from
the mythos and iconography that surrounds it. Who hasn't heard some
rendition of Bobby Troup's famous song "Get Your Kicks on Route 66,"
which has been recorded by over 50 artists ranging from Nat King Cole to
the Rolling Stones? For many of us, the images of the Route 66
television show with Buzz and Todd and the classic Corvette are memories
of an era that we tend to associate with simplicity, innocence, and an
easier life. Route 66 also represents freedom, opportunity, the 20^th^
-century expansion of the West, and great achievements in highway
engineering. The physical road, buildings, and businesses are as
important as the symbol of America that they represent.

**HISTORY / SIGNIFICANCE**

Route 66 was the nation's first all-weather highway linking Chicago to
Los Angeles. It was the shortest year-round route between the Midwest
and the Pacific Coast, spanning a distance of approximately 2,400 miles
through eight states. As an early component of the federal highway
system, Route 66 linked the isolated and predominately rural West to the
densely populated urban Midwest. When the road was designated as an
official federal highway in 1926 as an outgrowth of the Federal Aid
Highway Act of 1921, it was essentially no more than a series of dirt
roads connecting Chicago with Los Angeles in the most direct and
expeditious manner possible.

U.S. Highway 66 came at a time of unparalleled social, economic, and
political disruption and global conflict, and it enabled one of the most
comprehensive movements of people in the history of the U.S. (NPS 8:
National Park Service, *Special Resource Study, Route 66*, U.S.
Department of the Interior, National Service Center, Denver Service
Center, 1995). By 1937, the entire route was paved. This represented an
enormous public works effort, employing thousands to engineer and build
a formidable conduit for commerce and travelers. During the Great
Depression of the 1930s, Route 66 served as the corridor through which
approximately 210,000 refugees traveled over the "Road of Flight" toward
the promise of a better life in the West. During World War II, Route 66
was the major road corridor through which many military convoys
transported materials, goods, and troops to the West Coast for defense
plants and training in the California deserts. The 1950s witnessed a
bounty of post-war affluence, as evidenced by many families traveling
the route for good jobs on the Pacific Coast, as well as for vacations
in the now-easily-accessible, mystical Southwest. Route 66 provided new
commercial opportunities for the small communities through which the
route passed, and numerous "Mom & Pop" motels, restaurants, gas
stations, and tourist attractions sprang to life, creating a thriving
economy in these rural areas. By the 1950s and 1960s, the number of
vehicles that clogged the route was proving too much for congested urban
areas, and even for the open road itself. The congestion, safety issues,
and need to provide an efficient rapid transport system for defense
purposes in post-war America figured prominently in the passage of the
Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. The act, which created our current
Interstate system during the Eisenhower administration, basically
spelled the death knell for Route 66 as a federal highway.

With the decommissioning of Route 66 as an active federal highway in
1984, the pieces of the legendary road began to break apart. But as the
West Indian Nobel laureate Derek Walcott once wrote: "Break a vase, and
the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which
took its symmetry for granted when it was whole" (Lowenthal 21:
Lowenthal, D. Stewarding the Past in a Perplexing Present, *Values and
Heritage Conservation, Research Report*, The Getty Conservation
Institute, Los Angeles, 2000). This is certainly true of those who love
and understand the significance of Route 66. Actually, today it is
estimated that 80% of the road can still be driven, and is very much
alive. The challenge is how to preserve the essence and values of the
road, and the businesses and communities along the route, while
simultaneously meeting modern, evolving interests and needs.

**NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ROLE**

The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 may have ended the role of Route 66
as a federal highway, but due to dedicated public advocacy efforts, two
more acts were passed to recognize and protect the road and its
contribution to America's Heritage. In 1990, Congress passed the Route
66 Study Act of 1990, which directed the National Park Service to
conduct a special resource study to identify management and preservation
options for Route 66. The result of the Special Resource Study
([www.cr.nps.gov/rt66/SpecialResourceStudyText.pdf](http://www.cr.nps.gov/rt66/SpecialResourceStudyText.pdf))
was the passage of the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Act of 1999
([www.cr.nps.gov/rt66/PublicLaw106-45.pdf](http://www.cr.nps.gov/rt66/PublicLaw106-45.pdf)).
This act directed the National Park Service (NPS) to help preserve and
restore the most significant or representative resources along the
route. These resources include the familiar "gas, eat, sleep"
businesses, and also ruins of the buildings, archeological sites, and
cultural landscapes, and the all-important road segments themselves,
which existed during the route's period of outstanding historical
significance (1926-1970). The act directs the NPS to help develop
guidelines and a program of technical assistance, cost-share programs,
and grants that will set priorities and precedents for the preservation
of resources along Route 66. The program will legislatively terminate at
the end of Fiscal Year 2009, at which time the act anticipates that the
NPS will have successfully developed the program so that the states or
others will have the ability to establish and support a non-federal
entity to continue its purpose.

In order to fulfill the directives of the 1999 act, NPS established the
Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program (NPS program) in April 2001. The
NPS program is administered through the National Trails System Office,
National Park Service, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The NPS program works
directly with local and regional Route 66 stakeholders, organizations,
and local governments, many of whom have already made significant
inroads in preserving and drawing the public's attention to the route.
Through collaboration with these entities, the intent is to create
awareness of common resources and goals that will result in maximized
opportunities to best preserve and protect the things that make Route 66
special.

## YOUR ROLE

Nothing is more important than the efforts of private landowners,
business owners, communities, Route 66 organizations, and other groups
in preserving, protecting, and perpetuating the Route 66 legacy. The
bottom line is: Historic places get preserved because people care about
them and want them to be preserved. The NPS program is a resource
dedicated to assisting with and coordinating preservation efforts, but
it is the collective grassroots efforts of individuals, communities, and
organizations that are the backbone of the preservation of Route 66.

#### PRESERVATION STRATEGIES

## There are many strategies and approaches to consider in the preservation of Route 66. They include, but are not limited to, the categories below. Throughout the directory, look for the associated symbols, which indicate organizations and programs that can provide assistance in the specific categories.

> **Historic Preservation:** Route 66 buildings, structures, road
> segments, and landscapes provide a tangible link to the Route 66
> experience. Efforts to physically preserve the integrity and character
> of these resources should be a top priority. If the cafés, motels, gas
> stations, and tourist attractions are lost, the tangible link to Route
> 66 is lost forever. Historic preservation can be undertaken by anyone
> -- be it individuals, communities, or organizations, and can stimulate
> community revitalization and heritage tourism.

![](media/image4.jpeg){width="0.45in" height="0.4465277777777778in"}

> **Research and Oral History:** Research and oral history define the
> context and value of physical buildings, structures, road segments,
> and landscapes associated with Route 66. Research and oral history can
> identify and evaluate historical resources, provide information that
> aids in developing proper strategies for preserving the route,
> increase knowledge about the events and experiences associated with
> the route, and contribute to interpretation. Research and oral history
> are generally undertaken by professionals in the associated
> disciplines, and also by individuals and organizations.
>
> **Interpretation and Education:** While historic preservation protects
> and conserves the material aspects of the route, and research and oral
> history provide context for it, interpretation and education explain,
> enliven, and enrich it. Interpretation and education include
> everything from business owners talking to customers and visitors, to
> classroom lesson plans, homemade interpretive signs, professional
> waysides, exhibits in local museums, and visitor centers. Whatever the
> method, interpretation and education link people to the stories and
> meaning behind the physical buildings and road. The more people
> understand and care about the road, the more likely it is to be
> preserved.![](media/image5.jpeg){width="0.44166666666666665in"
> height="0.4444444444444444in"}
>
> **Community and Economic Development:** Communities can take an active
> role in preserving Route 66 values and properties, which can lead to
> improvement in the character, appearance, and livability of a
> community. Preserving Route 66 will also attract visitors to a
> community, which can improve the local economy by creating a market
> for services such as dining, lodging, gas, shopping, and souvenirs/
> memorabilia. There are several approaches for communities to consider,
> including Certified Local Government certification, block grants,
> scenic by-ways grants, programs, and more.

> height="0.44930555555555557in"}
>
> **Advocacy:** If you care about Route 66 and want to see it preserved,
> speak up! Collaborate with other people, societies, and associations
> to give and to gain support, contacts, advice, and knowledge. Get
> involved with your local government to make a difference in your
> community. Write letters to your city councilors, mayor, governor,
> state legislators, congressmen, etc., to let them know you care about
> Route 66. You can make a difference!

> height="0.41597222222222224in"}
>
> The SHPO funding sources and programs include the following:
>
> [Preservation Grants]{.underline}: The National Historic Preservation
> Act of 1966 authorizes a program of federal matching grants, known as
> the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), to assist states in carrying out
> historic preservation activities. The program is sponsored by the
> Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and is
> administered through the SHPO. Each year, the SHPO awards funds to be
> used for projects that relate directly to the identification,
> evaluation, or protection of historical, architectural, or
> archeological resources.
>
> [Preservation Loans]{.underline}: SHPOs have a unique tool to help
> preserve endangered properties: the Historic Preservation Revolving
> Fund. The fund, established by law in 1979, allows the SHPO to provide
> property owners with low-cost financial assistance in the restoration,
> rehabilitation, and repair of properties listed on the state or
> national Register of Historic Places. The fund allows state government
> to play an active role in preserving their state's heritage without
> the costs of long-term ownership and operation. Sale proceeds and loan
> repayments are returned to the fund to support future ventures. Loan
> assistance program details vary among the states.
>
> [Tribal Project Grants]{.underline}: SHPOs are also a source of grants
> for individual preservation projects proposed by Federally recognized
> North American Indian tribes. Preservation of specific historic
> properties is an eligible funding category, as are identification of
> cultural resources, preservation planning, oral history, and education
> and training.
>
> [National Register of Historic Places]{.underline}: The National
> Register is a catalogue of the buildings, sites, structures,
> districts, and objects significant in our past that are deemed worthy
> of preservation. Listing in the National Register provides
> recognition, limited protection, and, in some cases, financial
> incentives for these important properties. The National Park Service,
> in direct association with the SHPOs, has responsibility for
> identifying, evaluating, and nominating properties for this special
> designation.
>
> [State Register Programs]{.underline}: Some states offer programs to
> identify, evaluate, register, and protect historical and archeological
> resources that are deemed significant to the state's heritage, and
> worthy of preservation. State register programs encourage public
> recognition and protection of resources of architectural, historical,
> archeological, and cultural significance; identify historical
> resources for state and local planning purposes; determine eligibility
> for state historic preservation grant funding; and afford certain
> protections. State register program details and relationships to the
> National Register of Historic Places vary among the states.
>
> [Survey and Inventory]{.underline}: Through systematic field
> investigations and archival research, the SHPO identifies, records,
> and evaluates for National Register eligibility of archeological and
> architectural/ historic resources. The SHPO accomplishes most of this
> work through cooperative arrangements with universities, non-profit
> organizations, and local governments.
>
> [Certified Local Governments (CLG)]{.underline}: Communities that make
> historic preservation a priority in local planning and zoning may
> participate in the CLG program. Under the CLG program, local
> governments are certified to assume certain SHPO responsibilities,
> receive federal matching funds for development of their local
> preservation program, and participate in the National Register of
> Historic Places nomination process. CLG requirements are flexible so
> that a preservation program can be tailored to meet the special
> preservation and growth needs of each community. The local program
> determines what is important to the community, independent of National
> Register of Historic Places eligibility. CLGs have two distinct
> advantages. First, SHPOs are required to provide technical training on
> a variety of preservation topics and issues to CLG commissions, and
> will prioritize response to CLGs on technical assistance requests.
> Second, federal law requires that a minimum of 10% of the Historic
> Preservation Fund (HPF) grants administered by the SHPO must be
> awarded to CLGs.
>
> [Preservation Tax Credits and Abatements]{.underline}: Owners of
> private properties are eligible to receive a federal 20% investment
> tax credit for certified restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation
> projects for income-producing properties listed in the National
> Register of Historic Places. Some states also offer state income tax
> credit and tax abatement benefits. SHPOs work actively with property
> owners, developers, and architects to promote tax incentives and
> provide advice on appropriate restoration, rehabilitation, and
> preservation projects. Project work must meet the Secretary of the
> Interior\'s Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation, and is
> subject to SHPO review and approval. Preservation tax credit and
> abatement programs vary among the states.
>
> [Public Outreach and Technical Assistance]{.underline}: SHPOs offer
> programs and services to increase preservation awareness and public
> awareness of their respective state's heritage. Educational programs
> about state history and the value of preserving heritage are offered,
> as well as technical workshops on different preservation topics, such
> as window or masonry restoration. The SHPOs also provide funding and
> sponsorship for events such as annual State-wide Preservation
> Conferences, Heritage Conferences, and Archeology Month.

> Transportation Equity Act for the 21^st^ Century (TEA-21). These laws
> placed new emphasis on giving states and communities flexibility to

> include purchase of easements on historic properties, rehabilitation
> of historic buildings, landscaping in historic areas, archeological
> planning and research, and scenic or historic highway programs. Route
> 66 communities have the potential to directly benefit from this
> program. Transportation enhancement funding is administered by the
> Federal Highway Administration. To date, more than \$3 billion in
> transportation enhancement money has been made available. Within the
> basic framework of the program, each state decides how it will (or
> will not) use that funding. Interest in the program in general---and

>  Scenic Byways Program
>
> The Transportation Enhancement Legislation of the 1990s also created
> the National Scenic Byways Program, which provides technical and
> financial assistance to help preserve America\'s scenic roads and
> promote tourism and economic development. The Federal Highway
> Administration administers the program and designates roads as
> National Scenic Byways and All-America Roads (the best of the national
> Scenic Byways). National Scenic Byways may be recognized not only for
> their intrinsic natural, scenic, and recreational qualities, but also
> for their historic, cultural, and archeological resources. Grants are
> available to assist states in implementing projects on National Scenic
> Byways and developing State Scenic Byways programs. Projects that
> protect historic resources are eligible for grant funding. Eligible
> applications for grant funding may be obtained from the state
> departments of transportation. Nominations to designate Route 66 as a
> National Scenic Byway in your state may also be submitted at any time
> to your state's Scenic Byways Advisory Committee. Scenic Byways may
> also be nominated at the local and state level. Ask your state
> Department of Transportation for more information.

>
> Through the Farmland Protection Program, the federal government
> assists states, tribes, local governments, and non-governmental
> organizations in purchasing conservation easements on farmland to
> limit its conversion to non-agricultural use. The Farm Security and
> Rural Investment Act, or \"Farm Bill,\" that was signed by President
> Bush in May 2002, extended this program through 2007 to include farms
> or ranches containing historical and archeological resources.
> Previously, farms had to meet certain soil criteria to be eligible for
> the program. Now, the presence of historic properties, regardless of
> the farm\'s soil type, is a criterion for using the program. The
> Farmland Protection Program will pay up to 50% of the cost of
> purchasing a conservation easement or other interest in the land. In
> FY 2002, \$50 million is available. The sponsoring agency is the USDA
> Natural Resources Conservation Service. Recipients include state,
> tribal, or local governments, and non-governmental organizations that
> have existing farmland protection programs.

> The Economic Development Administration's (EDA) mission is to
> \"Enhance community success in attracting private capital investment
> and lucrative job opportunities.\" The EDA was established to generate
> jobs, help retain existing jobs, and stimulate industrial and
> commercial growth in economically distressed areas of the U.S. EDA
> assistance is available to rural and urban areas experiencing high
> unemployment, low income, or other severe economic distress. EDA has
> several funding programs designed to help distressed communities
> overcome barriers that inhibit the growth of their local economies.
> Communities along Route 66 can benefit from these programs, which
> include grant funds for revitalization plans, preparation of tourism
> development strategies, and sponsorship of economic development
> conferences or seminars. State business programs offer tax credits and
> incentives (including historic preservation), site location services,
> work force locator services, training, and help in starting a new
> business. They also provide grants and loans, which you can use to
> train employees, purchase equipment, or expand your company.

> State community development programs offer several types of tax credit

> credits to Main Street development, the community development programs
> work with city and county governments to help develop community
> capacity. Utilizing technical, planning, and financial assistance,
> they work with each community as a catalyst and financial partner in
> setting and achieving locally prioritized goals.

> The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is
> dedicated to providing suitable living environments and decent, safe,
> and sanitary homes for Americans. This includes spurring economic
> growth in distressed neighborhoods, and helping local communities meet
> their development needs. HUD offers Community Development Block Grants
> (CDBG) to provide eligible metropolitan cities and urban counties with
> annual direct grants that they can use to revitalize neighborhoods,
> expand affordable housing and economic opportunities, and/or improve
> community facilities and services, principally to benefit low- and
> moderate-income persons. Although the rehabilitation of affordable
> housing has traditionally been the largest single use of CDBG funds,
> the program is also an increasingly important catalyst for economic
> development activities that expand job and business opportunities for
> lower income persons and neighborhoods. Recipients of CDBG entitlement
> funds include local governments with 50,000 or more residents, other
> local governments designated as central cities of metropolitan areas,
> and urban counties with populations of at least 200,000. Visit the
> Community Development Block Grants web page at

> Angeles, and eight new urban Empowerment Zones, including Oklahoma
> City. These new designees are able to use a \$22 billion tax-incentive
> package to open new businesses, provide thousands of new jobs,

## Councils for the Humanities

> The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is an independent
> grant-making agency of the .S. government dedicated to supporting
> research, education, preservation, and public programs in the
> humanities. NEH offers Preservation Assistance Grants, up to \$5,000,
> to institutions to aid in the preservation of their collections. These
> grants require no matching funds. Any organization wishing to apply
> for this grant must be a non-profit, own and care for its own
> collection, have at least one full time staff member paid or unpaid,
> and be open and providing services at least 120 days a year. Awards
> are given nation-wide; however, the NEH has determined 14 states that
> have been under-served by the NEH in the past, and institutions from
> these states will be given priority. These states include Oklahoma,
> Missouri, and
> Texas.![](media/image9.jpeg){width="0.43819444444444444in"
> height="0.41597222222222224in"}
>
> Through its Challenge Grant Program, NEH also offers an initiative to
> strengthen, over the long term, the capacity of smaller institutions
> seeking to improve their humanities resources in local history and to
> encourage donations from non-federal sources. More specifically, the
> initiative\'s goals are to enhance opportunities for research,
> education, and public presentation of local history, especially in
> communities under-served by humanities activities.

### Councils for the Arts

> The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is an independent agency of
> the U.S. government dedicated to providing national recognition and
> support to significant projects of artistic excellence, thereby
> preserving and enhancing our nation\'s diverse cultural
> heritage.![](media/image9.jpeg){width="0.43819444444444444in"

>
> The NEA has awarded more than 11,000 grants to arts organizations and
> artists across the nation. The NEA is the largest single funder of the
> non-profit arts sector in the U.S. They offer a variety of funding
> programs, including:
>
> [Arts and Rural Assistance Grants]{.underline}: The NEA offers this
> program in partnership with the USDA Forest Service. Music, dance,
> poetry, plays, storytelling, and sculpture have always been an
> integral part of rural America, perhaps even more so now that our
> nation\'s rural heritage seems threatened by decades of high
> unemployment, persistent poverty, population decline, and severe
> economic adjustments. Recognizing that the arts can be an important
> part of the revitalization of rural communities, the Arts and Rural
> Community Assistance Initiative was developed to offer support to arts
> projects that address economic development, community development, and
> community heritage. Projects must include substantial involvement by
> rural arts organizations with professional staff. State arts agencies
> and the USDA\'s state rural development councils help identify
> potential applicants and projects and also provide comments on
> proposed projects. In the first four rounds of this Initiative, more
> than \$1.2 million was awarded through 78 grants for arts projects in
> rural communities in 28 states and Puerto Rico. Visit the program
> website at
> [www.arts.endow.gov/partner/Rural.html](http://www.arts.endow.gov/partner/Rural.html)
>
> [Your Town: Designing Its future Preserving the Special Spirit of
> America's Rural Communities]{.underline}: The NEA offers this program
> in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The
> program offers workshops that focus on an important aspect of
> community spirit and community integrity: the process of design. The
> workshops aim specifically to introduce rural technical assistance
> providers and rural decision-makers to the role of design in community
> planning. Visit the program website at
> [www.arts.endow.gov/partner/Your.html](http://www.arts.endow.gov/partner/Your.html)
>
> [Grants to Organizations]{.underline}: The NEA provides grants to
> support the core artistic and public service projects of organizations
> that are involved in the arts. Assistance is available to non-profit
> organizations of all types and sizes, and for projects in all arts
> disciplines. Visit the program website at

> clearinghouse for information, technical assistance, research, and

> They do not provide grant funds, but work with communities to create
> their own local Main Street programs. These local programs are
> established by interested business or property owners, city
> government, bankers, civic clubs, the chamber of commerce, historic
> preservationists, or other civic-minded groups. Community leaders
> (both public- and private-sector) discuss goals, establish an
> organization (Main Street programs are usually independent non-profit
> organizations), raise money to hire a Main Street manager, and create
> committees and a board of directors to carry out the work. Once

> district\'s needs and opportunities and develop a long-term,
> incremental strategy based on the Main Street Four Point Approach to
> strengthen its commercial activity and improve its buildings.
