Hampton Inn
Route 66 Roadside Attraction
A
Brief Overview of the Hampton's Save a Landmark Campaign:
In May 2002, Hampton's Save a Landmark initiative announced Route 66 as
a newly focused preservation effort. Last year, the program donated
close to 100 Historic Route 66 highway road signs to be posted along
the Route where they had previously been stolen or weather worn. At
that time, Hampton realized the need to educate travelers on the
Route's unique history, as an important slice of Americana worth
preserving. This year, after having identifed more than 60 unique stops
along Route 66 through preservationist and Route 66 Association
partnerships, Hampton will sponsor the caravan to post "Roadside
Attraction" signs along the roadway.Cozy Dog on TV
