Route 66 - Begins Here

Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker

Planning a trip? Check out the Route 66 Centennial website.

The Mother Road launches from Chicago’s Loop where the classic “Historic Route 66 Begin” sign announces this iconic pilgrimage. Commissioned in 1926, the route kicks off a roughly 2,400-mile journey across eight states west toward the Pacific. Start here and the scenery flips fast—from skyscrapers to desert two-lanes—this is the front door to classic cross-country Americana.
