Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona, invites an exploration of a new evolving exhibit that honors both the 100th anniversary of Route 66 and the America 250 celebration.
The exhibit opens with a collection of photographs by Terrence Moore, widely recognized as the dean of Route 66 photographers.
For more than 50 years, Moore has documented the Mother Road’s vibrant culture, sweeping landscapes and beloved historic
landmarks. His images capture the spirit of an American icon and bring its enduring legacy to life for visitors of every generation.
Designed as a living tribute, the exhibition will continue to expand with new items and stories in the months ahead. Each addition will explore the historic routes, travelers, and connections that once made Prescott a central destination, weaving together local heritage with the broader celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Visitors who return through next spring can expect to discover fresh perspectives and new artifacts as the display evolves.
Through Moore’s lens, guests can experience the highway’s neon-lit diners, weathered roadside stops and vistas that have come to define Route 66. Together, these works honor a century of travel, discovery, and the timeless idea that every journey holds a story worth telling.
The community is encouraged to visit Sharlot Hall Museum to experience this evolving exhibit firsthand. Prescott is about 50 miles south of the Route 66 town of Ash Fork, Arizona.
The exhibit is included in the price of admission.
