Newburg, MO --- A roadside and Route 66 landmark, John's Modern
Cabins faces an uncertain future.

Despite the efforts of Route 66 fans and the Friends of the Mother Road
preservation group, John's Modern Cabins just west of the Missouri town
of Rolla faces a potentially bleak future. Located a bit down the road
from Vernelle's Motel, the six cabins and other buildings on site are
in various states of condition. The old formerly neon sign for the cabins
still appears intact, though faded. The cars on the interstate whiz by,
many in their haste oblivious to the history sitting right along the side
of the road.
Many thanks to Ron Warnick of the Friends of the Mother Road preservation
organization for this update.
Please contact the Friends
of the Mother Road for more information on the status of this historic
site and how you can help save John's Modern Cabins from becoming a lost
treasure.
