Every mile of historic US Route 6 tells a story. From the Atlantic shoreline in Massachusetts to the Pacific Coast of California, America’s Grand Army of the Republic Highway connects travelers with small towns, historic landmarks, museums, scenic landscapes, festivals, and unforgettable road trip experiences.
