Join the Los Angeles Art Deco Society for a virtual presentation by Beth Murray, the President of the California Historic Route 66 Association to learn what it was like to travel the Mother Road in its early days before it was even fully paved by Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) Depression-era workers.

Beth Murray

Beth Murray calls herself a “Pursuer of the Unusual, Photographer of the Road..” Her passions lie with Route 66, the Old Cruise Ships, Muffler Men, Cats and Photography. After her husband died, Beth bought herself a camera and started traveling this old world of ours and documenting the ever changing environment in which we live. Here in America, we do not keep the old, so once it has been razed it is gone for good. She advocates for the preservation of Route 66.
