I think this is an awesome throw-back restoration on Historic Route 66. I remember thinking (many, many years ago) it is a shame that this historic gas station is deteriorating and nobody cares... well it finally happened! The restoration looks great and brings back memories of a simpler time cruising up and down the boulevard...
This is a small place that would not take that long to visit it is located on corner of Archibald and foothill on what used to be route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga.. Is a nice piece of all American history that if you are ever around the area should visit.
This historical station has been completely refurbished with donated materials and labor to the original design and is a great remembrance of Route 66 and the years gone past. The station has a museum and shows historical artifacts of the area as well as the story of the station from the time it was built. I think its a must stop for anyone thats interested in the Route 66 history. The docent are all volunteers, super friendly and well-informed in a variety of information of not only the station but the history of Route 66.
This place is closed due to covid 19. Even though online it says open. Its not...
Can learn new things but too crowded.
Beautifully restored Richfield gas station. They are attempting to rebuild the service bays as well, out back, in the near future. The have a wonderful handpainted Route 66 map on the wall inside the station. Definitely stop by, drop off a donation to help with the rebuild and meet the people donating their time to historical renovations.
Such a lovely landmark. Stopped by during a Route 66 trek, and had the opportunity to meet the owners. They were so kind, and told us about their car shows and gave us so much information about the Route and the station. Would recommend!
Great place to check out and take pictures with your car
An excellent landmark not to be missed on Route 66. Lovingly restored. The service bays still to come. The gift shop is great and the volunteers are wonderful and very helpful with any questions.
So glad we stumbled across this gem! Its a beautifully restored landmark on historic route 66 and had an interesting little museum inside. Its clearly a labor of love by the volunteers who work there and its wonderful that they were able to preserve it just before the site was to be demolished. Stop in and check it out!
What a great little place staffed by knowledgable volunteers with good selection of gift items.
Excellent restoration. Knowledgeable volunteers. Fun place for history enthusiasts to visit.
Great piece of history. Cool artifacts. Great docents.
Absolutely awesome! Everyone should check it out
Such a small historic museum with so much great history..
Loved how they saved it.
The ROUTE 66 IECA has done an exceptional job of saving and restoring the Cucamonga Service Station on Foothill Blvd. in Rancho Cucamonga, just West of Archibald Ave.Open to public access with select hours during the week and weekend, the volunteers will gladly regale you with many tales of local history, and anecdotes about the acquisition and restoration of the station itself.The unique architecture and vibrant color scheme is quite simply from another time.This is the place you take uncle Bob and aunt Sue from Buffalo who will go home and tell all their friends about the Route 66 gas station that was right out of the movies.If you are a local or just passing thru in your yellow 32 Deuce, the station is a must do.
I like a museum old timey gas station just go check out runs me of the old times when things were good.
Just very cool to see, itsi the only one left
Really nice job on the restoration, and the people that work there are the best!
The staff is quite knowledgeable and friendly. Looking forward to my next visit the next time Im back in the Los Angeles area!
