Lots of history and a little fun trivia
about the movie “Cars” can be found in and around Galena.
Outside the Four Women on the Route
restaurant souvenir shop along Route 66 is “Tow Tater,” the 1951 International
Boom truck that inspired the character of “Tow Mater” in the movie “Cars.”
Galena is along the Kansas Route 66
Historic Byway, which includes 13.2 miles of highway throughout the very corner
of southeast Kansas. Several small towns and lots of notable places to visit
are along the byway including:
- The Marsh Arch “Rainbow” bridge
- Schermerhorn Park
- Nelson’s Old Riverton Store
- Fort Blair
- Galena Mining Museum
- “Field of Dreams” baseball park
