This Week in The West: The Birth of Route 66

Why do we get a spike in visitors from Europe every summer at The Cowboy? And what does that have to do with John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath?

It all comes from Route 66, the legendary highway, born this week in 1926. 

This Week in The West is produced at The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
