Traveling Route 66 from California in a 1959 Cadillac back in the 1990's were some wonderful times. One of the iconic roadside draws along the old road was the WIGWAM MOTEL in Rialto, California. Built in 1949 and expanded in 1953, by the time I passed by there in 1991, 1992 7 1993, the motel had fallen into a sad state of severe neglect. I capture some video footage of that low point of the motels history but in 20013, the Patel family purchased the motel and undertook the monumental task of bringing the Route 66 motel back to its former glory. Restored and
lushly landscaped, it has once again became a popular overnight stop for weary travelers.
