Shea's Gas Station Museum, Route 66 automotive museum in Springfield, United States.
Shea's Gas Station Museum exhibits a collection of vintage gas pumps, oil cans, signs, and photographs documenting American automotive service history.
The establishment operated as a Texaco and Marathon gas station from 1946 to 1982 before Bill and Helen Shea transformed it into a museum in 1995.
The museum collection represents the evolution of American gas stations through the 20th century, with artifacts from major petroleum companies like Shell and Texaco.
The museum will reopen to visitors on May 21, 2024, following renovations funded by a Route 66 Grant from the City of Springfield.
International travelers from Europe and Asia frequently visited the museum, recording their experiences in a guestbook that documented global interest in Route 66 history.
