Website:	Touring the Mother Road in Vinita, Oklahoma Vinita, Oklahoma is a great historical Route 66 town. Driving along Route 66 you can see many examples of what Route 66 was like back in its heyday. Vinita is the second oldest town in Oklahoma and was founded in 1871 when the railroad came through. It was originally named Downingville but the name was changed to honor Vinnie Ream, the sculptress of the life-sized statue of Lincoln at the United States Capitol. There are many surviving vintage Route 66 buildings in Vinita, from cafes to motels, gas stations, and more.
