Lebanon developed a notable collection of Route 66 attractions and traveler services, including the Route 66 Museum at the Lebanon-Laclede County Library with recreations of a 1950s gas station and a classic diner, antique cars, and collections of Route 66 books, magazines, and videos. Camp Joy, opened in 1927 by Emis Spears and his wife Lois, was one of the first motels along Route 66, beginning with tents rented for fifty cents a night before cottages and a gas and grocery store were added on the eight-acre site. The Wrinkle family's Wrinks Market served lunches for decades and became known for signature sandwiches and fried apple pies. William Lenz built Lenz Homotel in 1932 as a motel intended to feel like a home away from home, and it remained open to tourists until 1975. The Union Greyhound bus station served the Lebanon area and brought Fort Leonardwood soldiers into town on weekends for rest and relaxation. The Orchard Hills Package Store occupied the former Carter and Lawson Phillips 66 station, opened in 1935 and used as a gas station until 1971, when Dean Elmore moved his store there from its original 1946 Route 66 location; the business remains in the family. In 1946, Andy Liebl turned two old streetcars into Andy's Street Car Grill on Elm Street at Jackson Avenue, where it advertised the finest foods in the Ozarks and famous fried domestic rabbit. Munger Moss began as a sandwich shop opened in 1936 by Nellie Munger and Emmit Moss, was purchased by Pete Hudson in 1945, and added a motel the next year; since 1971 it has been owned by Bob and Ramona Lehman and continues serving travelers in iconic Route 66 style. After donating land for the construction of Route 66 through Laclede County, Arthur T. Nelson opened his service station and tavern in 1931 and later built Dream Village, a stone cottage motel village popular with travelers from around the country.
