| | Historic Context – Automobile Tourism in Missouri |
 | | For the current (2002) Phase II Route 66 survey project, the consultants, Debbie Sheals and Becky Snider, continued the survey that was begun in 1992. |
 | | Highway, city, telephone, and lodging directories as well as Route 66 guidebooks and historic postcards, were used to establish construction dates and to identify early owners. |
 | | Although transportation modes in Missouri in the twenty-first century are radically different from those used by the first inhabitants of this land, many of the roads that we use today follow routes that were established centuries, if not millennia, before the first European settlers ventured into this area. |
