Your American Icon:

Route 66

Location:

All across America

Why is this work an American Icon?:

Route 66 is the quintessential icon that travels through the heartland of America. Chicago, St. Louis, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Barstow, Los Angles. It was the route for refugees from the Dust Bowl and for Desi & Lucy when they traveled from New York to California on I Love Lucy. And, it had its own television show.

First name:
