The Mill Museum on 66 in Lincoln

After over a decade of renovation, The Mill on 66 is now open as a museum, featuring businesses that have served travelers along the Logan County stretch of Route 66 and displaying rotating exhibits telling stories from local communities. This includes an extensive collection of rare items from The Pig Hip Restaurant, The Tropics Restaurant and the now famous “Illy the Robot.” Built as a sandwich stand in 1929, three years after Route 66 was established, the Blue Mill sold grilled sandwiches at all hours of the day and night. Albert and Blossom Huffman purchased the business in 1945, extending the space with a barroom and dance hall. Schnitzels became
their signature meal; quirky decorations, friendly atmosphere and overall good times made memories for locals and travelers alike.
