Marketing Kits - National Trust for Historic Preservation

Designating Route 66 as a National Historic Trail will have a significant economic impact in the eight states* along the iconic route and appropriately recognize the historic roadway during its centennial celebration in 2026.  

While the “Mother Road” traverses only eight states, its historic significance has been felt by many Americans. Help preserve Route 66 for future generations throughout the country. 

Below are social media, newsletter, and email examples for you to use to encourage your constituents, members, partners, and allies to join the campaign and the webinar series.

The African American Civil Rights Network, a National Park Service (NPS) program, connects more than 130 historic sites, NPS units, and research programs dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. Its authorization lapsed in January 2025. Without Congressional action, no sites have an opportunity to join this vital network. 

Tell Congress to support the African American Civil Rights Network.
