We passed by the Rest Haven Court Motel in Springfield during the day, and while its vintage charm was already clear, I couldn’t help but think how much more magical it must look at night. Like I always say: if you can pass through in the evening, late at night, or if you’re staying nearby — don’t miss the chance to see these places after dark 🌙.
Because there’s something truly special about the glow of neon signs along Route 66 — a glow that once guided travelers from one motel to the next, from roadside diners to motor courts under the stars. The neon sign of the Rest Haven Court is a perfect example of that golden era, and it really deserves to be seen when the sky is black and the road is quiet.
Even if you don’t stay the night, swing by after sundown, park your car, and take a few moments to admire the light. Let your mind wander to a time when Route 66 pulsed with glowing colors, each sign telling its own story.
