Cowboy History on Route 66

How did the Dust Bowl and John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath shape the “Mother Road” and the westward American Dream?

Join Jenn on Route 66 in Oklahoma City for a walk through the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

A statue of a cowboy stands in front of a large American flag, with the text 'National Cowboy Museum' overlaid. A person wearing a cowboy hat and a t-shirt with the words 'HISTORY AT DRIVE' is featured prominently in the foreground, along with a 'Route 66' road sign.
