About this event

On Thursday, September 24, at 7 p.m., there will be a free screening of the new documentary Crossroads of America: Oklahoma’s Route 66 in Claremore at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. The Oklahoma Historical Society, in collaboration with Director Bryan Beasley, producers Jon and Jaime Roman, and with support from the Inasmuch Foundation, has produced Crossroads of America: Oklahoma’s Route 66. This documentary examines the evolution of Route 66 in Oklahoma, from the hardships of the Dust Bowl era to post WWII road trips. It explores the highway’s history and future through interviews with historians, interactions with small-business owners, and scenes created using virtual production technology filmed at the Cherokee Film Studios. There will be a Q&A with OHS executive director, Trait Thompson, after the film. Refreshments will be provided by the Will Rogers Memorial Foundation. No admission is required to attend the screening.
