C.A.R. 66
The Real California Adventure
Black Bell Project
The Black Bell Project is an initiative dedicated to promoting and preserving the legacy of California historic Route 66 as well as honoring original sites and buildings along this part of the Mother Road. The mission is to place a small black bell at each historically significant location on the route as a marker for places to visit that have been on the route during the time when it was in commission. The hope is to provide situational awareness to the local community who may not be aware of the providence of these sites and invite travelers to experience “California’s Gold” and step back in time and cherish the rich tapestry of California Route 66 and its history. Learn more details about the project in the About section of this webpage.
