Miami Oklahoma Route 66 Photography
Miami boasts of the longest Main Street on all of Route 66 and is proud to serve as the Gateway into Oklahoma for all those traveling the mother road. Just outside of Miami is the last section of the original nine foot wide “Ribbon Road” that is listed as an Oklahoma National Historic Landmark. Although a part of the Historic Highway, this section predates Route 66, having been built in the early 1920s. Legend has it that when the road was built, Oklahoma’s budget was tight, so rather than covering half the mileage, they covered half the width. This remarkable piece of vintage pavement zigzags for 13 miles between Miami and Afton.
Miami has several attractions of interest to Route 66 Travelers including the Coleman Theater Beautiful, Miami Marathon Oil Company, Waylan’s Ku-Ku Burger, and the Vintage Iron Museum.
