FANNING, MISSOURI · FROM ROLLA

The Route 66 Rocker

Travel along the Mother Road to Fanning’s 42-foot steel rocking chair, an American roadside landmark built on a rather generous scale.

Shore excursionsThe Route 66 Rocker

Your day, thoughtfully planned.

Extend your arrival day with a drive along historic Route 66 toward Fanning, west of Cuba. The celebrated steel rocker rises more than 42 feet above the roadside, a former world-record holder that remains one of the route’s most distinctive photo stops. Take your time with the view from ground level, hear the story of the Mother Road, and browse the outpost if open. Your coach returns to the Rolla arrival reception in the late afternoon.
