Welcome to
Shamrock
Shamrock is home to the U-Drop Inn / Conoco Tower (1936) — one of the most photographed Art Deco buildings on Route 66 and the inspiration for Ramone's Body Shop in Pixar's Cars (2006). The restored beacon glows neon-green every night.
The town's Irish heritage shines in its annual St. Patrick's Day celebration, and the genuine piece of the Blarney Stone in Elmore Park is one of only a handful in the United States.
