Lucille's Service Station

Lucille's Service Station served Route 66 travelers for over 70 years. It is named for Lucille Hamons, it's proprietor for most of its history, who's generous service to travelers earned her the nickname "Mother of the Mother Road". The station has been closed since Lucille's death in 2000.
