"Gem a historical significance. They will stamp your Route 66 passport Worth stopping for a spell and taking in all the history."
"The historic Richfield Cucamonga Service Station on famous Route 66 in California is a great visit! Built by Henry Klusman in 1915 for William Harvey the first owner. Then in 1925 Ancil Morris purchased the Station and he became a Richfield distributor. The Station is an historical landmark and in 2013 the Route 66 Inland Empire California group became owner,curator and caretaker for all to visit! . . . . #history #localhistory #route66 #cucamongaservicestation #seetheusa #richfield #godisgood #richfieldboron #Cucamonga #gasoline #ranchocucamonga"
"We live in Rancho Cucamonga and proud of our Route 66 vintage "Atlantic Richfield Filling Station" and museum on Foothill Blvd & Archibald Ave! It's always a joy to visit this historic and ichonic Rt 66 Roadside Attraction! My husband & I just finished our westbound Route 66 road trip adventure through 5 states from Oklahoma City, OK to Rancho Cucamonga, Ca where we live. We couldn't wait to visit our home town Route 66 vintage "Filling Station" to finish our 5 State road trip and share our Stories with the great museum docents last Saturday morning! As a momento to our Rt 66 road-trip in Jun 2023 and our hometown Rt 66 historic "Atlantic Richfield Filling Station," we will be purchasing one of their commemorative Red Brick pavers to help towards the rebuilding of the Filling Station's Auto Service Shop in the back. Support the Cause and get your personalized engraved brick paver too!"
"This is one of the best Route 66 restorations I have seen. Their dedication to bringing to life a piece of history speaks volumes about the people and community that made it happen. It feels like stepping back in time, you half expect a gas station attendant to pop out. Inside the building is a nice museum with bits of history packed in. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful on learning and understanding the Station. They also have wonderful modern bathrooms that are in tip-top shape. Meaning people with sensitive stomachs are safe."
"A wonderful historic gas station on the original Route 66 alignment through Rancho Cucamonga. The place has recently been completely restored by the local volunteers who now run the place. The job they did is absolutely excellent and now I can say that this in surely one of the best stations on the full Mother Road! We arrived quite early and expected the place to be still closed, however the man presiding the station opened everything for us and showed all the restoration work that was done. Keep up the excellent work, guys!"
