The El Reno Mother Road Monument was erected in 2018, just days before the town’s famous Fried Onion Burger Day festival. Designed by Oklahoma City business PremierCraft, it was created to provide a fun photo opportunity for Route 66 travelers. The idea for the giant Route 66 shield came from Mayor Matt White, who was inspired by other popular photo spots he saw on the Arizona stretch of the road.
