At one time there were two others on Route 66, but they have since been demolished. Built in 1923 it is fully restored and very nice to see."

It’s more what it used to be than a mind blowing site but if you like Route 66 and historic sites I think it’s worth it. Small river pass underneath."

It's the last of its kind on the entire Route 66 and is known for its unique curved arch design, making it a significant piece of engineering and a popular photo spot for travelers on the old highway"
