Historic Route 6 Adorned with Newly Installed Signs
Lancaster, CA. March 10, 2011 –Two new signs marking historic Route 6 have been installed on two corners of Sierra Highway at the BLVD. The signs have been donated to the City of Lancaster by the California U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.
Two Route 6 signs have been installed on Sierra Highway on Avenues G and M at the City’s boundaries, when the City became a member of the Route 6 organization.
“We would like to thank the California U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association for helping us commemorate this piece of Antelope Valley history,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris.
The goal of the Route 6 organization is to bring recognition to the original path of Route 6. Route 6 is the longest transcontinental highway traversing 3,652 miles from Long Beach on the west coast to Massachusetts on the East Coast, passing through 14 states. In Lancaster, the route follows Sierra Highway.
Former Lancaster Mayor Fred M. Hann is Executive Director of the California U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association and he hopes the organization will revive interests in the small towns that were bypassed by newer freeways. Hann encourages motorists to “slow down and see America.”
“Taking a road trip along a section of Route 6 is a wonderful way to see more of the area that’s off the beaten path,” noted Ron Emard, Chairman of Destination Lancaster, Lancaster’s tourist bureau.
Destination Lancaster is the official destination marketing organization for Lancaster, California in collaboration with the City of Lancaster and the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds. Destination Lancaster’s mission is to promote Lancaster and the Antelope Valley— inviting visitors, residents, family and friends to enjoy Lancaster as a place where the beauty of the high desert converges with an artfully crafted urban scene.
