About Fanning, Missouri: Rocking the Mother Road
Fanning may be small but it boasts one of Route 66's most iconic landmarks. Located on the 1926-1977 alignment of Historic Route 66 in Crawford County, this once-rural community which was home to a school and a post office in its early years, has now found international fame through a single oversized roadside attraction.
On April 1, 2008, the World's largest rocking chair was unveiled in Fanning: a massive steel structure weighing more than 20,000 pounds and standing 42 feet tall. Though a larger chair was later built elsewhere, Fanning's original remains a Route 66 classic. In 2015, it was repainted bright red and christened the Route 66 Red Rocker, cementing its place as a must-see stop along the Mother Road. Travelers flock to the Fanning 66 Outpost, snapping selfies with the chair and browsing the general store that has become part of the landmark experience.
Beyond the Red Rocker, Fanning connects seamlessly to the wider Route 66 community. Just a short drive away lies Cuba, celebrated as Mural City, along with annual events like Route 66 Cubafest help to keep the region's Route 66 traditions alive. If you're hunting for the quirks and classic Americana that define the Mother Road, Fanning offers a photo-worthy moment and a memory that's larger than life.
