About Cuba, Missouri: Where History Paints the Town
Situated in Crawford County along the 1926-1977 alignment of Historic Route 66 and present-day I-44, Cuba is a quintessential Mother Road stop that has captivated travelers for generations. Founded in 1857, Cuba became an essential waypoint for motorists once Route 66 cut across the state and it remains a beloved destination where history and Americana are preserved in vivid color. A journey to Cuba is a journey back in time, where visitors can experience the golden era of cross-country travel while discovering a community that has redefined itself through art and heritage.
At the heart of Cuba's Route 66 identity is the legendary and completely restored Wagon Wheel Motel, built in 1936 and still welcoming guests as the oldest continuously operating motel on the Mother Road. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Wagon Wheel is an icon to roadside hospitality and a must-see stop for anyone tracing the path of America's most famous highway.
Yet Cuba is perhaps best known as "Mural City," a title earned through the tireless efforts of the Viva Cuba organization. Since 2002, Viva Cuba has transformed the town with 14 large-scale murals that showcase everything from Civil War battles to the heydey of Route 66. Highlights include the 2007 Route 66 mural on Hayes Shoe Store and the Amelia Earhart mural, which commemorates her 1928 visit to the community, making downtown Cuba an open-air art gallery.
Cuba's cultural pride is also expressed through lively annual events such as the Route 66 Cubafest and the classic Route 66 car shows which bring visitors from across the country to celebrate heritage, vintage automobiles and good-old-fashioned small town hospitality.
Adding to its appeal, Cuba has held the designation of Tree City USA since 2012, a recognition that complements its artistic spirit with an ongoing commitment to communities that are healthier, happier and more liveable.
For travelers, artists and history lovers, Cuba is far more than a quick roadside stop - it is a destination where Route 66 history meets art, tradition and timeless Americana. Whether you're exploring its famous murals, spending a night at the Wagon Wheel Motel, or enjoying its annual festivals, Cuba offers a one-of-a-kind Route 66 experience that lives up to its title as the Mural City of the Mother Road.
