    Historical place that is a bit run down but it still worth a visit. There were no actual entrance for parking lot but you can park on the street nearby. The place has a small store/museum that honestly is nothing to write home about. At least it is free and clerks are very nice.

    This is one of the best Route 66 restorations I have seen. Their dedication to bringing to life a piece of history speaks volumes about the people and community that made it happen. It feels like stepping back in time, you half expect a gas station attendant to pop out. Inside the building is a nice museum with bits of history packed in. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful on learning and understanding the Station. They also have wonderful modern bathrooms that are in tip-top shape. Meaning people with sensitive stomachs are safe.

    it's actually closed down and fenced off. (pictures attached) i'll still give it 5 stars for being clean and in real good condition. it's obviously a pretty historic part of the city and Route 66 as well. i'd like to come back and visit hopefully when it's open again in the future.

    I have been trying for months to get here while it was open. I’m glad I kept trying it is a blast from the past and the volunteers that work there are very helpful. They have cool Route 66 souvenirs that I have not seen in other locations. They have plans to remake the garage in the back which will bring back it’s personality.

    Fantastic place, beautifully restored, staffed by really friendly volunteers! We didn't realise until we got there, but we arrived 15 minutes before their closing time. However, the volunteer staff inside welcomed us in, asked a lot about our trip and told us a lot about the history of the place. They made us feel very welcome and didn't rush us out for closing time, even offered and took the time to take some photos of us outside. There's a nice little gift shop of which proceeds go towards the upkeep and restoration, which they told us all about. Would definitely recommend stopping by.

    The historic Richfield Cucamonga Service Station on famous Route 66 in California is a great visit! Built by Henry Klusman in 1915 for William Harvey the first owner. Then in 1925 Ancil Morris purchased the Station and he became a Richfield distributor. The Station is an historical landmark and in 2013 the Route 66 Inland Empire California group became owner,curator and caretaker for all to visit! . . . . #history #localhistory #route66 #cucamongaservicestation #seetheusa #richfield #godisgood #richfieldboron #Cucamonga #gasoline #ranchocucamonga

    We live in Rancho Cucamonga and proud of our Route 66 vintage "Atlantic Richfield Filling Station" and museum on Foothill Blvd & Archibald Ave! It's always a joy to visit this historic and ichonic Rt 66 Roadside Attraction! My husband & I just finished our westbound Route 66 road trip adventure through 5 states from Oklahoma City, OK to Rancho Cucamonga, Ca where we live. We couldn't wait to visit our home town Route 66 vintage "Filling Station" to finish our 5 State road trip and share our Stories with the great museum docents last Saturday morning! As a momento to our Rt 66 road-trip in Jun 2023 and our hometown Rt 66 historic "Atlantic Richfield Filling Station," we will be purchasing one of their commemorative Red Brick pavers to help towards the rebuilding of the Filling Station's Auto Service Shop in the back. Support the Cause and get your personalized engraved brick paver too!

    Beautifully restored Richfield gas station. They are attempting to rebuild the service bays as well, out back, in the near future. The have a wonderful handpainted Route 66 map on the wall inside the station. Definitely stop by, drop off a donation to help with the rebuild and meet the people donating their time to historical renovations.

    A great historic Route 66 stop!! Great volunteers to talk to about the service stations history!!

  • 5/5 Federico S. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful historic gas station on the original Route 66 alignment through Rancho Cucamonga. The place has recently been completely restored by the local volunteers who now run the place. The job they did is absolutely excellent and now I can say that this in surely one of the best stations on the full Mother Road! We arrived quite early and expected the place to be still closed, however the man presiding the station opened everything for us and showed all the restoration work that was done. Keep up the excellent work, guys!

    Really cool remodeled historical gas station in Rancho Cucamonga. Great for a photo shoot. They sell route 66 memorabilia inside. Picked up a key chain and magnet.

  • 5/5 Randy N. 1 year ago on Google
    Those volunteers at the Service station are super friendly, knowledgeable, and coachable. Each of them is a history speaking about Route 66. They are retirees who try to retain American history and love to share with everyone. I would recommend all friends and others to visit at least once and/or support them! I wish you great health and happiness gentlemen!

    I’m so glad we stopped in! The renovation is amazing and the guy that we talked to was so helpful and great to talk to. I look forward to seeing more updates and the eventual garage build!

    The place is staffed by volunteers so be sure to show your support by buying some souvenirs. They are very enthusiastic and love Route 66. They are *extremely* helpful as well. Be sure to say hi to Adventure Vin if he's around!
