The Lebanon-Laclede County Library in Lebanon, Mo., has been designated by the Missouri Division of Tourism as a welcome center, the Springfield News-Leader reported.
There are just six welcome centers in Missouri and three affiliates.
The reason roadies should be interested is because the library also houses a Route 66 museum. It contains a fully equipped filling station, a vintage motel room and a diner. Photos of them are here.
With its designation and its proximity to Interstate 44 (it’s a few blocks south of Exit 129), more people should be exposed to the Mother Road’s charms.
To top it all off, it has free Wi-Fi.
