Duarte Historical Museum

The San Gabriel Valley suburb of Duarte has long cherished its role as a Route 66 ambassador. Just off Route 66, the Duarte Historical Society's museum operates inside a moved, 1920 house (originally occupied by L.A. County District Attorney Buron Fitts). The museum's 2024 addition of the Claudia and Alan Heller Route 66 Room showcases local heritage and honors an author / photographer couple who helped put Duarte on the map for Route 66 heritage tourism.
