Welcome to

Lebanon

Lebanon is home to the Munger Moss Motel — a beloved 1946 family-owned Route 66 motor court with one of the most photographed neon signs on the Mother Road. The motel is still operating, and the original family stewardship makes it a Route 66 pilgrimage stop.

The Route 66 Museum at the Lebanon-Laclede County Library (free) and Wrink's Market (a 1950 Route 66 grocery still operating) round out the visit.
