Mahan’s Filling Station at Fulgenzi’s in Springfield

Mahan’s Filling Station, a unique example of the earliest of gas stations, is now on display at Fulgenzi’s Pizza & Pasta located across from the historic Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. The roadside attraction is now accessible as a great photo and souvenir opportunity for Route 66 visitors. Fulgenzi’s restaurant property itself was once the site of two Route 66 motels and a car painting business in the heyday of the road. Fulgenzi’s opened their original family restaurant in 1979 as a “Custard Castle,” which has become a regular stop for 66 travelers.
