Location Details

The historic Munger Moss Motel is located at 1336 U.S. Route 66, Lebanon, MO 65536. While the iconic property and its landmark neon sign remain major roadside attractions for travelers, please note that the motel is permanently closed for lodging. The City of Lebanon took over conservation of the site to preserve its historic legacy.

Location Highlights

  • Placement: Situated on the east edge of town, right on the south side of historic Route 66.

  • Highway Access: Easily viewable and accessible just off Interstate 44 at Exit 130.

  • Historical Origins: The "Munger Moss" business originally started in the 1930s as a barbecue sandwich shop at Devil's Elbow, Missouri. It was relocated to this Lebanon location in 1945 after Route 66 bypassed the original site.

  • The Neon Sign: The property's famous mid-century neon sign was fully restored and remains a major destination point for Route 66 photography enthusiasts.
