The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Along 66, May 2021: The Mill Museum, Arcadia and Carthage

MAY 8

The Mill Museum in Lincoln, Illinois, to reopen to the public on May 22 at 11 am..  It has been closed because of you-know-what.

It closed in 1994 and started deteriorating immensely, but was save from demolition.   Volunteers and Geoffrey Ladd stepped in in 2017 and saved it.  The museum reopened that year after years of fundraising and volunteer labor.

It is located at 738 S. Washington (Old Route 66).

MAY 10

There are new signage on Old Route 66 near Arcadia, Oklahoma, as it now has National Register designation.  This stretch shows two types of road construction and was bypassed in 1952.

MAY 13

COVID-19 causes permanent shutdown of the Powers Museum in Carthage, Missouri.  The place, however, had been struggling for a long time before the pandemic.
