20. The Glenrio Ghost Town
Straddling the Texas and New Mexico border, Glenrio Ghost Town offers a haunting glimpse into Route 66’s golden era. Once a bustling stop for travelers, its empty buildings and faded signage now serve as a powerful time capsule. According to the Texas Historical Commission, federal and state initiatives are underway to stabilize remaining structures and provide interpretive resources, preserving Glenrio’s story for curious visitors and history enthusiasts alike.
