Shea's Gas Station Museum
Shea's Gas Station Museum located on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois was transformed from a working Texaco, and later Marathon, station into a world-renowned museum by owner Bill Shea and his wife Helen. The museum contains an eclectic mix of vintage gas station memorabilia collected over the last fifty years including the original gas pumps, wooden phone booths, signs, photos, and other mementos reminiscent of old Route 66 service stations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Get Your Kicks on Route 66 )〕 In February 2000, the former Mahan's Station, rumored to be the oldest filling station in Illinois, was moved 21 miles to its current location within the museum compound. It has since been fully restored.〔Steil, Tim and Jim Luning, ''Fantastic Filling Stations'' (2002) pp.47-55〕 The museum’s guestbook boasts visitors from all over Europe and Asia and has become a destination for international travelers exploring the Mother Road. Due to his commitment to preserving Route 66 history and gas station memorabilia, plus his many years of quality service to his customers, Bill Shea and his shop were inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1993. The entire Shea family was inducted in 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Route 66 Association of Illinois Hall of Fame Members )〕 Bill Shea died in December 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Friends, Family Tell Story Of Route 66 Museum Founder Bill Shea )〕
