The Birth of Route 66
Oct 1, 2026
Don't miss a fascinating lecture at the Edmond History Museum about the origins of Route 66. Learn how bicycles, an automobile race around the world, Henry Ford, and a county commissioner from Tulsa lead to the birth of Route 66. In his presentation, Trait Thompson, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, will weave together the story of a seemingly disparate series of events that created the most famous road in the world. This lecture is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is appreciated.
