On August 21st, the Old Route 66 Association of Texas alongside the owners of the Big Texan Steak Ranch & Brewery unveiled one of the 27 signs that will be restored along the Texas corridor of the historic Mother Road.
Bobby Lee and the Big Texas Steak Ranch & Brewery have graciously funded the 27 signs for the Texas corridor. “Route 66 was the starting block of the Big Texan. We were on Route 66 for 10 years. It was our birthright and the reason so many people came to the Texas Panhandle. Anytime we get the chance to support it with the support it gives us, we jump on it,” said Bobby Lee, Big Texan Steak Ranch owner. The Oldham County Chamber of Commerce would like to express gratitude for the Lee family’s generosity to place these historic markers back in our communities. We would also like to thank the Old Route 66 Association of Texas for their efforts to make this project happen for not only our small communities but all the other communities along the Texas corridor.
TxDOT does not have a specific date for when installations of Route 66 signs will begin but says it will take place in the near future.
