Nelson's Old Riverton Store

Riverton, KS | Cherokee County

The ambience of this sweet reminder of the old Route 66 days probably hasn't changed much since it opened as Leo Williams Grocery in the 1920s. It's one of the most nostalgic stops in the state, where you can order a sandwich at the meat counter, buy Wonder Bread or Jello in the old-fashioned market, or pull an ice-cold pop out of an original Coca Cola cooler. Memorabilia of the "Mother Road" (Route 66) line the shelves and are stacked up to the pressed-tin ceiling, and an adjoining room is packed with every imaginable souvenir bearing the name Route 66. The Old Riverton Store is an explorer's haven! (NRHP)
