About This Item

Wig Wam Bam TB

The Wigwam Village Motel is a famous icon of Americana and Route 66. As Americans took to the highways beginning in the 1930s, many tourist stops appeared in unique appealing constructions. A total of 7 of these villages were constructed of which only three still exist.

Wigwam #2 in Cave City, KY near Mammoth Cave National Park

 

Wigwam #6 in Holbrook, AZ on Route 66 near Petrified Forest National Park

 

Wigwam #7 in Rialto, CA on Route 66 near San Bernardino

I'm dropping Wigwam Bam off at this keychain cache... it's a new cache, so it should move fast... and in the meantime it will fit right in!

Hmmm... I know the people who proposed holding the World Science Fiction Convention at the Wigwam Motel (the one near Cave City). Not that this will help get the travel big there....
