Route 66 Experience Hub makes move to downtown Lincoln
 

[August 20, 2018]  LINCOLN - On Friday morning, the crews from Matthews Construction were at the Welcome Garden in downtown Lincoln, installing the Route 66 Experience Hub.

The Hub, which was located at Postville Park on Fifth Street has been moved to the Welcome Garden to help reinforce the downtown area as a Route 66 tourist stop.

LDN staff were on hand at about 10 a.m. Friday morning, arriving just as the electricity was being turned on for the Hub. Consequently, LDN was the first to hear the Hub play the famed theme song, "Get your Kicks on Route 66."

The Hub contains information about Route 66 in Lincoln and Logan County and it is lighted. While at Postville Park, there was no electricity installed for the Hub. With the move the hub will now be fully functional.

The official entrance into the Welcome Center is from the northeast corner of the Lincoln Public Library and Public Parking lots. The Experience Hub is now the first attraction as visitors enter from that corner.
