Now Announcing a New Exhibition at the National Route 66 Museum!
We’re excited to welcome “The Polaroid Man: Mark A. Payler” opening May 30 at 11 AM in the Transportation Building!
During his journey across Route 66, Mark Payler captured 90 Polaroid portraits of the people who live and work along the Mother Road. This exhibition features 44 of those images, with deeper storytelling highlights from six unforgettable encounters along the way.
From roadside legends to everyday voices, each portrait reflects the spirit, character, and human connection that define Route 66 as it approaches its 100th anniversary.
