“A Geographical Journey” Parkway

A 1.6 mile stretch of Route 66 with educational kiosks that
interpret each state along the road.  The walking tour has

and a collection of Burma Shave signs.  

Towanda Dead Man’s Curve
A dangerous curve on Old Route 4, the original Route 66
before the 1940s.  Travelers unaccustomed with the curve
misjudged its sharpness and narrow width - just 18 feet for
two-way traffic.  Infamous for the number of accidents which
occurred there.
