Great Lakes to Florida Highway Museum
About
The Great Lakes to Florida Highway Museum opened August 20, 2011. The third museum owned and operated by the Town of Wytheville offers visitors a chance to return to the days when the Great Lakes to Florida Highway (Route 21) was the main route from Ohio to Florida. Original artifacts, newspaper clippings and exhibits tell the story of the development of Route 21 and Interstate 77.The gas station, which started out as a Texaco station, was built in 1926. About 1934, the station changed from Texaco to Esso. Candy and other snacks were added in the 1940s. By the 1950s, the gas station was phased out, and it became a small grocery store.
