“A Geographical Journey” Parkway
Jackson Street to Boyd Wesley Park
A 1.6 mile stretch of Route 66 with educational kiosks that
interpret each state along the road. The walking tour has
fliers printed in several languages for international tourists
and a collection of Burma Shave signs.
Towanda Dead Man’s Curve
A dangerous curve on Old Route 4, the original Route 66
before the 1940s. Travelers unaccustomed with the curve
misjudged its sharpness and narrow width – just 18 feet for
two-way traffic. Infamous for the number of accidents which
occurred there.
