Niangua, Missouri's Route 66 Attractions-- Part 4: The Rockhaven

ROCKHAVEN RESTAURANT, CAFE and FILLING STATION

Highway cc  (Old Route 66)

About  1.4 miles south of Niangua Junction, to your right, on the eastern side of the road next to a wide bend.

This is private property built around 1925.  The one floor wood structure  has broad gabled  roofs and rubble rock walls.

Owned by the Ferriers during the 1920s, they leased it  as a Conoco  Service Station in 1932.  In 1938, it was a Texaco.

It has changed owners many times and operated not only as a gas station but also as a tavern, restaurant and cafe, with some cabins as well.  It was open until the mid 1960s.
