On Saturday, July 9, 2022, following the Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum will open the exhibit Route 66 Transitions, 1981–1991: Jerry McClanahan’s First Decade of Route 66 Photography.
McClanahan is a noted Route 66 authority, artist, and photographer. He first began photographing and mapping US 66 in 1981, on a trip from Texas back to visit his boyhood home in Southern California. Over a period of 10 years, Jerry captured many lost and forgotten scenes during this decade of decline and revival, some of which are presented in this exhibit for the first time.
