Today we did Route 66 from Vinita to Claremore, OK.
We started our day with coffee from Eastside Coffee.
Since we already did the Cherokee Nation Anne Mitchell Welcome Center yesterday, we had extra time this morning and decided to go back to the Buffalo Ranch. Coming at it from the south, we easily spotted where the buffalo are kept.
Next we visited the Vinita Welcome Center, where they have a Route 66 Monument.
We then learned about some of the local history of Vinita at the Eastern Trails Museum.
For lunch, we ate at the Hi-Way Cafe.
As we continued on Route 66, we stopped to take photos of the 1926 Pryor Creek Bridge in Chelsea.
Next we checked out the Chelsea Pedestrian Underpass and its mural art.
As we headed to our next stop, we decided to take a little detour and see the Site of Oklahoma’s First Oil Well.
Our next stop was at Ed Galloway’s Totem Pole Park.
Next we stopped to take photos of the Foyil Filling Station.
Nearby we also checked out the 1928 Route 66 Footrace Historical Marker.
We were ahead of schedule when we got to Claremore and were going to go to one of the museums we had planned for tomorrow, but after taking pictures of the Centennial Monument and Will Rogers Highway Marker, we realized we had a nail in a tire and instead went to a tire place to take care of that before it caused a delay.
