Celebrate the centennial of America’s most iconic highway at OETA’s Back in Time premiere screening and panel discussion featuring the new episode Route 66: The First 100 Years.
Journey through Oklahoma’s rich Route 66 history, from Tulsa’s neon Meadow Gold sign and the whimsical Blue Whale of Catoosa to Lucille’s Service Station near Hydro and the site of Cal’s Café in Erick.
Using rare archival footage and stories from the roadside, the program explores how the “Main Street of America” shaped Oklahoma’s identity, fueled commerce, connected communities, and inspired generations of travelers.
Join historians and special guests as we celebrate the nostalgia, resilience, and enduring magic of Route 66.
