Historic Route 66 in Winslow
Winslow's Route 66 stretch runs straight through downtown, and 2026 is the road's centennial year.
What to expect
Route 66 came through Winslow in 1926, and the town grew up around the road and the railroad together. The historic alignment still runs through downtown, past brick storefronts, neon, murals, and La Posada Hotel.
2026 marks the road's 100th anniversary, and Winslow has a run of centennial-year events on the calendar. If you are driving the Mother Road end to end, this is one of the most walkable downtown segments in northern Arizona.
Our property sits just off I-40 at Exit 252, a few minutes from the historic corridor, which means you can park once and drive in for the evening.
Practical tips
- Walk the downtown blocks rather than driving them; the details are the point.
- Check the Visit Winslow calendar before you travel — centennial events fill rooms.
- Book early for festival weekends in fall 2026.
