The Rolla Chamber of Commerce celebrated the ribbon cutting and installation of a new Route 66 monument at Buehler Park Tuesday.
Funding for the sculpture was made possible with a grant from the Missouri Route 66 Centennial Commission, according to a Facebook post from the chamber .
Rolla was chosen as one of the select communities to receive a sculpture in preparation for the 100th anniversary of Route 66 in 2026.
"The monument is a point of pride for our community, and we encourage you to stop by Buehler Park, take photos, and share your experience," the chamber wrote in the Facebook post.
