Checking Out the Cucamonga Service Station on Route 66

The Cucamonga Service Station dates back over 100 years, and predates Route 66 by a decade. There was once 1000s of service stations like this throughout the country. The service station was built in 1915 and has somehow managed to survive till today, and is the last remaining building of its type on Route 66 in California. While it hasn’t been a working service station since the 1970s, visiting today is like stepping back in time. Beautifully restored to its days as a Richfield Oil Station, the building now hosts a museum. This is one of the coolest places to stop on Route 66 in the Inland Empire. The station was declared a historic landmark by the city of Rancho Cucamonga in 2019 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. ○ Gear we use: ►Please subscribe for weekly updates showcasing some of our adventures:
