Springfield Missouri Preservation

Despite the decommissioning, Route 66 lived on as people nostalgic for the old highway started campaigns to preserve the historic Road. The Missouri Route 66 Association formed in 1990 with the goal "Route 66 preservation, promote and develop old Route 66 in Missouri". Congress passed the Route 66 Study Act of 1990, recognizing that Route 66 was "a symbol of the American people's heritage of travel and their legacy of seeking a better life" This study led to a law to preserve the cultural resources of the corridor.

Missouri Governor John Ashcroft signed a bill in 1990 clearing the way for MoDOT to erect signs marking the historic right of way. The first sign went up at Kearney and Glenstone in Springfield in 1991. Now more than 350 signs mark the route across the state.
