EDWARDSVILLE - From gas station to dentist’s office, the West End Service Station in Edwardsville has had its share of milestones. On June 9, the station celebrated its reopening as a Route 66 tourist center. Route 66, the classic highway from Chicago to California, originally ran through Edwardsville. As a tourist center, the West End Service Station will pay tribute to this national and local history. “We want people who live in Edwardsville to know where we came from,” Edwardsville Mayor Art Risavy said. “The West End Service Station will preserve a piece of history, which is so important as we move forward.” The center has interpretive panels with information about Route 66, Edwardsville and the station. Guests can visit the station and its gift shop free of charge. The West End Service Station opened in 1927 as Springer’s Madison Oil Co. It was renamed and rebuilt in the 30s; today’s building has been standing since 1939. When
