Celebrate the 100-year legacy of Route 66 with a stop in Afton, Oklahoma, as I explore this small but history-packed town of just over 700 people, right along iconic Route 66—walking Main Street, highlighting vintage buildings, and sharing how Afton grew from a railroad hub into a classic Route 66 community. Located in Ottawa County in northeast Oklahoma, Afton’s story includes early rail expansion, agricultural roots, a population boom in the early 1900s, and later tourism tied to nearby Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees after the completion of Pensacola Dam. Along the way, I visit the quirky Crosstar Museum, meet a passionate local caretaker, and dig into how Route 66—and life beyond it—shaped this town’s rise and gradual decline.
