About Plew, Missouri: Preaching on the Mother Road
Plew is an unincorporated community along the 1926-1977 alignment of Route 66 in Lawrence County, near MO-96. Founded in the 19th century, it likely took its name from a local family, as was common in rural Missouri settlements. Though small and unassuming, Plew gained unexpected recognition when the Mother Road began bringing travelers through its farmland and crossroads.
In the mid-20th century, motorists passing through Plew encountered something unusual: a series of Biblical billboards that lined the roadside, proclaiming scripture and moral reminders. These signs, often hand-painted and weathered by the elements, reflected the evangelical culture of rural Missouri and left a memorable impression on road-weary travelers. For some, they were inspirational; for others, a curiosity that became part of the journey itself. A few remnants of these roadside sermons still stand, quiet echoes of a time when faith met the flow of America's greatest highway.
Though Plew never had the neon motels or bustling diners of larger Route 66 towns, its roadside preaching carved out the town a unique identity. Today, Plew is often remembered in the same breath as nearby Carthage and Springfield, where Route 66 festivals and events keep the spirit of the highway alive. In its own way, Plew embodies one of Route 66's most charming qualities: the ability to surprise and inspire travelers in even the smallest, most unexpected places.
