Cucamonga Service Station

ROUTE 66 PASSPORT STAMP PLACE The Cucamonga Service Station is an award winning, nationally recognized, Route 66 landmark attracting tourists to the Inland Empire region of California from across the country and around the world as they travel Route 66 to relive that bygone, nostalgic era. Built over 100 years ago, in 1915, it is the only remaining original structure in California from that era. Closed in the 1970s, the station sat abandoned and deteriorating for decades. In 2013, the station was donated to the Route 66 Inland Empire California Association (IECA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of our Route 66 history and heritage. Through the hard work of volunteers, the donation of labor and materials, and through the funding support of our generous donors, the station has been restored to its original look as a Richfield station of the 1930s and is now open to the public as a museum with artifacts of local and Route 66 history. Today, Route 66 IECA operates the station and museum and continues to raise funds through events, which include monthly brunches, wine tastings, an annual car show, and many other events. In addition to these events, memorabilia such as magnets, shirts, caps, cups and other items are available at the station to purchase. Monies raised go to operate the museum and to rebuild the service garage that originally stood behind the station.
