Explore Springfield’s Route 66 story with the Centennial Sculpture Series, a self-guided experience that takes you to unique Route 66 sculptures across the city. Check in at each stop using GPS, earn points as you go, and turn them in for rewards along the way. It’s an easy, fun way to see more of Springfield while connecting with the history of the Mother Road. 

Springfield’s story as the Birthplace of Route 66 has come to life in a bold, colorful way. Across the city, sixteen larger-than-life sculptures have turned everyday spaces into can’t-miss stops, with each one celebrating the history, creativity and community that define the Mother Road.
