Date of Visit: April 28 & May 1, 2026
Queen's Gate 66 is a new sculpture in Springfield, Missouri, that was dedicated as part of the Route 66 Centennial Kick Off weekend. We first saw it on April 28 when we were staying at the nearby Best Western Rail Haven. At the time it was not quite completed, so we made sure to visit again after it was dedicated a few days later.
While there were still some finishing touches to be done when we first saw it, it was already lit up, so we got an idea of how it looks at night.
When we visited it after it was finished, we were able to walk up to it and through it.
Under the middle of the sculpture are murals with some about on Springfield, Missouri, as the Birthplace of Route 66 and featuring some of the various landmarks of Route 66. One side focuses on Missouri and the other side features some highlights of the other states Route 66 goes through.
