Overview
This small brick service station in downtown McLean has been restored to its original 1929 appearance, right down to the vintage pumps and period signage. It's a quick, easy stop rather than a full attraction — pull in to see what a Route 66 filling station looked like when the highway was new, then wander the surrounding historic district for more reminders of the road's heyday.
