The Preserving the Historic Road Conference 2008, slated for Sept. 11-14 in Albuquerque, aims to preserve all of America’s storied highways. But it boasts several events that should be of great interest to Route 66 advocates.
- A keynote address by Route 66 author and actor Michael Wallis.
- A Friday Movie Night, which features vintage footage of New Mexico and other highways in the Southwest.
- Tours along Route 66 and other area historic highways.
- Closing address by Chester Liebs, author of “Main Street to Miracle Mile.”
There also are plenty of educational sessions for preservationists. Details are here.
