One of the most rewarding parts of the Route 66 Centennial Traveling Exhibit has been meeting people who stop by to share their memories, family stories, photographs, and archival treasures with us.
During our stop in Grants, New Mexico, at the Cibola Arts Council, we had the privilege of speaking with Maggie Billiman, who shared the story of her father, Howard Billiman, a Navajo Code Talker who served during World War II.
We're excited to share this brief clip and are looking forward to featuring Maggie's story in a longer video in the near future.
Every community along Route 66 has stories worth preserving, and we're grateful to everyone who has trusted us with theirs.
