On Wednesday morning the defining symbol of Route 66 arrived in Lincoln, making a landmark statement that the building upon which it is mounted is something special.

The old State Bank of Lincoln is being transformed into a Route 66 museum. On Tuesday night, Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch announced there will be a soft opening of the museum on Monday, June 1st. He said that the public is invited to come in and see the work that has been done inside thus far. He added that the museum is still a work in progress and a grand opening event is being planned for July.
