Red Oak II - Transplanted Town Red Oak II was the coolest part of our Route 66 trip across Missouri. [Chuck, 07/20/2010]
Lowell Davis has moved an entire pioneer Missouri town from its original site, 25 miles away, and reassembled it as Red Oak II. Heralded by roadside Burma Shave-style signs, the buildings there have been preserved as a credible replica of a crossroads town, circa 1929, and include an antique Phillips 66 gas station, a general store, a blacksmith's shop, a feed store, a town hall, a one-room school house, an old country church, and a cemetery.

[RA: The town also includes a streetcar diner, Belle Starr's home, and the oldest surviving Standard Oil gas station from Route 66.]Nearby Offbeat Places
