Route 66's Niangua, Mo., Birthplace of Helen Jackson 'The Last Civil War Widow'-- Part 2

Route 66 places:

Niangua Junction Station/Grocery (L) (c.1935, remodeled 1992)

Abbylee Modern Court (R) (c 1940).  Originally eight double cabins and a cafe  (offering "Meals & Sandwiches"), the Abbeylee Court (Among the Trees") was one of the more scenic motor courts along Missouri 66.  

A postcard (mailed in 1949) shows the cabin and the "Very Good Food" cafe that was destroyed by fire in 1950.  The court is now monthly rental property.

The Old Timber Hill Camp (L) (1935), once three cottages with private cooking facilities, community toilets and showers, renting  for $1 - $1.50.  The residence in front was the office.

We'll definitely drive through this place when we go for the Ramona Lehman's 50th anniversary of owning the Munger-Moss Motel in June.
