CLINTON, Okla. — On Saturday, July 27, at 2 p.m., the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum in Clinton will host the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
The Oklahoma Route 66 Association will induct two special Oklahomans into the Hall of Fame. The inductees will be announced at the ceremony. Inductions are held every two years for individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion or preservation of Route 66. The selection includes a nomination and committee process conducted by the association. The winners’ plaques are displayed in the Oklahoma Route 66 Association Hall of Fame.
Immediately following the ceremony, the museum will hold an opening for a new photo exhibit titled “Discovering 66” by Rhys Martin, president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association. Although Martin grew up in the Tulsa area, he had never given historic Route 66 a thought until he took a lifechanging trip around the world. Come experience a photographic journey covering over 38,000 miles and how it led back home to Route 66, the most famous historic highway in the world.
The Oklahoma Route 66 Museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the day of the event. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
