Historic U.S. Route 6 is the longest highway ever established in the United States. Our association is dedicated to its preservation and to the economic well being of all entities along its path. With this site we hope to be your top source for Route 6 information. We also hope to be an interactive exchange of interesting stories and Route 6 experiences. So, if you have a great story you'd like to share with us, or an interesting picture, feel free to contact us and we'll post it on our site. We're more than happy to take a little break to share a good story. A special "Thank You" to James R. Hendricks, composer and performer of our theme song, "Long Lonesome Highway" When we started in October, 2000, the high school students were
looking for music to go with the web site.
