Description

---

The history of the motel begins with new car owners of the 1900s and their passion to drive. Route 66 replaced the mud and gravel roads of that period and accommodations changed from roadside camping to elite tourist courts such as the Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missouri. Its incredible stone design has endured 75 years and it has earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. There are over 100 pages of text and pictures, both historical and current that follows all of the owners through decades of changes, hardships, war, sadness, and results of the recent restoration.
