Shea’s Gas Station Museum was a Texaco, and later Marathon, gas station from 1946 – 1982. Owners Bill and Helen Shea transformed the property into a world renowned museum in 1995 until Bill passing in 2013.
The building contents were auctioned off and property sold in 2016. The City of Springfield, thanks to a DCEO Route 66 Grant, made improvements to the property including reproducing the original signage on the exterior and interior of the station.
Shea’s Gas Station and Museum will reopen to the public May 21, 2024. This outdoor adventure is one you don’t want to miss on Route 66 in Springfield.
