The exhibit explores how Oklahoma’s 400-plus miles of drivable highway shaped communities along the route and continues to draw travelers today.

Route 66 was created in 1926 and quickly became one of the most consequential roads in American history. For Oklahomans, it was an escape route during the Dust Bowl, an economic lifeline for roadside communities, and eventually a casualty of the interstate system. “The Longest Stretch” traces that full arc, from the road’s rise to its decline, and into its revival through preservation and tourism.

Major artifacts on display include a 1915 Model T Roadster, a restored Taft Stadium sign, a Big Boy statue, and a 1961 Corvette on loan from the National Corvette Museum. Hands-on interactives will allow visitors to engage directly with the story of Route 66 and its evolution over time.

Join us every Saturday for our year-round indoor farmers’ market! Discover the freshest local produce and fruits, along with a wide variety of baked goods, proteins, and prepared foods—plus plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. There truly is something for everyone.

After the market, take time to explore the antique mall, enjoy lunch at one of the many restaurants, and shop for beautiful seasonal plants, pumpkins, two grocery stores that are open 7 days a week and so much more.
