Meramec Caverns Barn Advertisement (Hamel)
The Meramec Caverns Barn is a restored example of early highway advertising (Meramec Caverns is in Stanton, Missouri). Located north of Hamel across the Interstate from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, it is one of two remaining barn advertisements along Illinois Route 66 (the other is near Cayuga, IL). Restored by the Route 66 Illinois Preservation Committee. It speaks to our longing for the old individualism and entrepreneurial spirit of classic Route 66 signage.
