Help Preserve Route 66

The most enduring highway in our public consciousness, Route 66 represents a unique moment in history that continues to define the nation’s identity: the rise of the automobile and its implications of freedom, mobility, and a quintessential American story.

Despite Route 66’s fame, elements of the "Mother Road" are lost every year. To support what remains the National Trust for Historic Preservation is providing grants to both legacy businesses and non-profit entities to help preserve Route 66 while also highlighting hidden stories and places along the route.
