Route 66 Seligman News
Brought to you by:
Seligman, Arizona was founded in 1886 at the junction of the railroad from Prescott to the Santa Fe Railroad's main line. It was known as Prescott Junction until it was renamed after Jesse Seligman, a prominent New York banker responsible for financing railroad construction and companies. The railroad played a big part of Seligman's community for the next hundred years by establishing repair facilities and the famous Harvey House.

Here's a story of a family vacation that included taking a tour of Historic Route 66, rafting down the Colorado River, and visiting a town where your name is prominently displayed.
That is what Randy, Elliot, Olivia and Audrey Seligman did the first week of August. The New York family from Chappaqua, New York walked into The Historic Seligman Sundries, proudly stating that their surname is SELIGMAN. This was the family's first visit toSeligman, Arizona. Elliot is a psychologist, and Randy is a professional photographer in New York. Our visit with this charming family made for a very pleasant experience.
Forty three years ago Elliott and three friends drove through Seligman in the summer in their VW Bug. Remember -
According to Elliot, " I love the town and am proud to share the name".

Why does the U.S. flag have a five-pointed star?
According to legend, when George Washington asked Betsy Ross to sew the country's flag, the sketch that he showed her had a flag with 6-pointed stars. Betsy convinced him that 5-pointed stars were better because she was able to fold a piece of cloth in a way that resulted in a perfect 5-point star with a single snip of the scissors. Betsy died on January 30, 1836, at the age of 84. Old Glory is one of the most complicated flags in the world, requiring 64 pieces of fabric to make. It's also changed designs more than any other flag in the world.

Do you want to go on a tour, go camping, have social interaction with your fellow travelers, and forego the normal comforts associated with travelling? If the answer is yes to all of these, then you want to join a Rotel Tour. We have had the pleasure of meeting Martina as she escorted her German tourists on her 16-day tour of the Southwest. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Yosemite, Las Vegas, Bryce Canyon, The Grand Canyon, and of course, Seligman on Historic Route 66 were some of the highlights of the tour.
This unique company, which has been operating tours for over 50 years, offers tours in 130 countries. There are accommodations for 23 people to live on the bus. The passengers also are served breakfast and dinner. On this particular tour, Joseph is the driver, mechanic, and chef. He definitely is a genuine multi-tasker!!
Heidi, a seasoned traveler, was relaxing in front of the store drinking her cappuccino when she told us that this was her 15th tour. She is 66 years old and travelling Route 66 on her 5th trip to The United States. She said, "I like it all, especially the friendliness of Americans."
From Martina, the guide: "Wir sind Hier Gerne Unterwegs!"

Three years ago, Kota from Yokosuska, Japan travelled Route 66 through Seligman. Kota had the large Route 66 flag that he is holding in the photo signed at all of his stops.

"The people in Seligman, Arizona make it the best town on Route 66". This is a quote from Dirk Goetz from Barcelona, Spain. This enthusiastic gentleman spent a night in Seligman to capture some of the local flavor and photos for his travel documentary about Route 66. His 4-week journey throughout the Southwest is something that he thinks everyone should do once in a lifetime.
Dirk is an actor, photographer and businessman in Barcelona who enjoyed his stay in "The Elvis Room" at The Canyon Lodge in Seligman. We look forward to viewing his photos and comments about Seligman.
"Animo a todo el mundo a experimentar por una vez en la vida este viaje. Sin lujar a dudas sereis mejores personas."
