Traveling down some of the original Route 66 road and stop by Lucille's Historic Station. Found it interesting that the State Department had put up fence along the interstate to keep people from pulling off to her station. Now the station set empty not open for the people on the road anymore. I'm sure Mrs. Lucille would be disappointed. Mrs. Lucille is buried at the Hydro Cemetery about 2 mile from her station. Wonder if any of them Armstrong buried behind her worked in the store.

This stop brought me great delight! I just loved imagining the journey on Route 66 when places like this existed.
I wish I could have met Lucille or read her journals. I imagine she had a satisfying life filled with hard work and bountiful joy.
Please don't let this place ever go away.

LUCILLES HISTORIC HIGHWAY GAS STATION
Route 66 - Hydro, Oklahoma
August 1993, 1994, 1995
While on several Route 66 road trips from California in my 1959 Cadillac, a stop at Lucille Hamons Gas Station was always a highlight of the journey. She would tell her stories of life on the old road at her gas station with such detail and and animation. At that time, a daily stream of visitors from around the world would stop in to see the 'Mother of the Mother Road'. She would enthusiastically share her collection of memorabilia with the visitors who would buy Route 66 souvenirs and t-shirts that she had for sale. Not to mentions her offering up for purchase what she said she was known for locally; 'having the coldest beer in Oklahoma'. Absolutely wonderful and cherished memories indeed.
It is wonderful that after her passing, the property was renovated and continues to be a very popular stop for those traveling on Route 66. Highly recommended.

This is a place of Highway 66 history. There is no restaurant. There are a couple of suites you can rent to stay in, but that is about it. The history of this place is interesting. For me, it's very personal because my grandfather used to visit this place when it was still a working gas station and convenience store.My grandfather used to call the lady that ran this store his sister, he would always visit in the evening before she would close for the night, they would talk and laugh for a while, just having a good old time in there.

After hearing about Route 66 for so many years, it was so much fun to ride on it during our Christmas Day Holiday Road Trip from Hilton Head, South Carolina all the way to Albuquerque, NM and share the experience with my husband and son. Lucille's makes it extra special since is on of the original stops on the original Route 66. It was like a trip back in time. My son really enjoyed it too !!

What a great place to take your lunch and eat. It was so very peaceful and well kept. The only thing was that I didn't see any bathrooms or trash cans. But we wanted it to stay beautiful, so we brought our trash home with us.
