Image: WAGON WHEEL MOTEL,CAFE AND STATION, CRAWFORD COUNTY, MO

Description: 19-room independently owned historic U.S. Route 66 restored motel which has been serving travelers for more than seventy-five years. The site opened as a café in 1936; the motel has remained in continuous operation since 1938. The motel rooms were fully restored in 2010, adding modern amenities such as HDTV and wireless internet. A filling station which once also occupied the original 1936 property is no longer in active use; the original wagon wheel café restaurant is now a retail store filled with jewellery, purses, décor, Route 66 books, t-shirts and a few original wagon wheel antiques. Cabins consisted in 1938 of three stone lodging buildings. Set back 200' from the road, these originally provided a few rooms each plus an office and garages for motorcar storage at a time when cabins or cottages in most tourist courts were simple single-room structures. This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 03000183 More images
