Route 66, or the Mother Road as John Steinbeck called it in The Grapes of Wrath, turns 100 this year. And while the centennial celebration is the perfect time to celebrate all things related to roadtrips—gas station snacks, carefully curated playlists, rearview mirror decor—it’s also a welcome call to hit the highway in search of some seriously dazzling architectural sights. Here, we’ve rounded up 14 can’t-miss design landmarks along Route 66, with a healthy dose of kitsch sprinkled throughout. Take a peek at Honest Abe’s former abode, walk one of the country’s most impressive Art Deco districts, take part in a hands-on art installation spray-painting Cadillacs in the middle of a field, and more. Consider the Mother Road a 2,400-mile design museum, from its start in Chicago to its end point in Santa Monica.
