Rusty Bolt Gift Shop on Route 66 in Seligman

One of the original U.S. Highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926, stretching 2,448 miles. Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west.
A favorite stopping place on Route 66 in Arizona is the town of Seligman.
Its earlier roots was as a railroad town. Originally Seligman was called “Prescott Junction” because it was the railroad stop on the Santa Fe Railroad mainline junction with the Prescott and Arizona Central Railway Company.
In 1886 it was renamed Seligman, after Jesse Seligman, one of the founders of J.W. Seligman Co. of New York, who helped finance the railroad lines in the area.
In 1987 Seligman became known as the “Birthplace of Historic Route 66”.
Today, Seligman is home to numerous restaurants, small motels and gift shops. One of our favorites is the Rusty Bolt! It is truly a step back in time!
