Its actually closed down and fenced off. (pictures attached) ill still give it 5 stars for being clean and in real good condition. its obviously a pretty historic part of the city and Route 66 as well. id like to come back and visit hopefully when its open again in the future.

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.

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!

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!

This is an original Route 66 Richfield Service Station. The staff was extremely friendly and told us all about the history of the station - from its heydays, through its closure, and eventual restoration. There are plans for a full Route 66 museum in the future!

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.
