Overview
The World's Second Largest Rocking Chair is one of Missouri's most famous Route 66 attractions and an unmistakable landmark along the historic highway. Installed in 2008 at the Fanning 66 Outpost, the enormous steel rocker originally held the Guinness World Record as the world's largest rocking chair. Standing more than 42 feet tall and weighing over 27,000 pounds, the attraction was designed to capture the imagination of travelers and draw visitors off the interstate to experience a classic piece of roadside Americana. 【1-3a524f】【2-9c683b】
Although a larger rocking chair elsewhere in the United States later claimed the world record, the giant rocker remains the largest rocking chair on Route 66 and one of the highway's most photographed attractions. Positioned beside the Fanning 66 Outpost, the chair has become a favorite stop for road-trippers seeking memorable photographs, Route 66 souvenirs, and a glimpse into the creative roadside attractions that helped define American highway travel. Illuminated at night and visible from a distance, it continues to celebrate the whimsical spirit that has made Route 66 legendary. 【1-3a524f】【3-1a52a7】【4-098f05】
