Historic Lodging That Still Welcomes Travelers

The Wagon Wheel’s documented story reaches back to the 1930s. Its Ozark sandstone buildings and roadside setting remain part of Cuba’s Route 66 landscape.

The Wagon Wheel is the oldest continuously operated motel on Route 66.

Preservation here means keeping the property useful: caring for its character while continuing to offer travelers a genuine place to stop, sleep and experience the Mother Road.
