The Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum in Arcadia, Calif., is hosting the “Get Your Kicks on Route 66” exhibit, reports the Pasadena Star-News.
Curator Dana Dunn hopes it will bring back fond memories for older Arcadia residents, as well as educate a younger generation. […]
On display will be items like a Chas. Carpenters Cafe menu from the 1940s. Older residents can reminisce over a time when an inch-thick steak at Carpenters, Arcadia’s first drive-thru, cost just a $1.
The show features photographs of motels, restaurants, drive-thru’s and some ephemera.
With the song “Route 66” playing in the background, visitors will stroll down a hallway set up with a map of Route 66 on the right and colorful Arcadia memorabilia on the left.
The exhibit will remain on display through March 28.
