It's located along the original Route 66 stretch across Dwight downtown, so you cannot miss it! The old gas station has been restored to its original condition, and inside the place is full of historic memorabilia and cool stuff. The owners are fantastic as well, always ready to explain us the history of the town and the gas station. A must-stop place during everyone's roadtrip!"

The station provided a fantastic backdrop for some memorable photos, capturing the essence of this iconic route. We had the pleasure of meeting fellow travelers who were also enjoying their journey along Route 66. It was wonderful to share stories and experiences with others who were equally excited about the adventure. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, despite it being a Sunday afternoon when the store was quite busy. Overall, Ambler's Texaco offered not just great photo opportunities but also a warm, friendly environment that added a special touch to our trip. We left with a sense of nostalgia and a few more stories to tell about our Route 66 adventure."
