Baxter Springs, Kansas Route 66 Visitors Center 940 Military Avenue, Baxter Springs, KS 66713

"Old Phillips 66 Service Station Turned into a Route 66 Visitor Station, located on Route 66 in Baxter Springs. If you are traveling it's definitely worth a stop."

"This location in Baxter Springs, KS, is either your last stop on Route 66 in KS (eastbound) or your first stop in KS (westbound). The Phillips 66 fuel station-turned-Visitors Center is a great stop! Dean (the cowboy with backward knees, and a "friend of Mater") is very knowledgeable about every Route 66 sight thru Kansas. Dean will give you step by step directions and recommendations for your route. He truly is a font of knowledge and will tell you so much! There are a few souvenirs for purchase, and quite a bit of nostalgia throughout the Visitors Center (in addition to the two Phillips 66 pumps outside). This stop easily could last 30-45 minutes (or longer, if you start talking to Dean)."

"Dean was our information person. Very kind and knowledgeable. Enjoyed listening to him."

"Unique experience of old Rt66. Gentlemen working there was very knowledgeable of history of the town. They’ll even let you add your name to the walls."

"This place was really cool I've been on a lot of stretches of Route 66 but never the stretched it goes through Kansas. This is quite the Pleasant surprise a beautiful little scenery and the attendant inside was a very informative nice gentleman!! I can't imagine all the people over the years that have stopped in the same place in enjoyed this in the way that I just did . There was a number of Walls that were covered in signatures of people over many years I would assume in the man moved a table and found me a Sharpie and I was able to sign it myself I felt honored!!!!!!!"
