A couple named Munger opened a barbecue restaurant in 1929. According to Mr. Mungers, his widow married a man named Emmett Moss. This is how the Munger Moss Sandwich Stop operation became. When the road was laid through the Hooker Cut in 1946, operations moved to Lebanon where it is still known and loved as the Munger Moss Motel. But the restaurant was by no means closed. New operators were found and it can be said that it is the oldest continuously operated building along Route 66. Today the restaurant is particularly popular with motorcyclists and you can almost always see a Harley parked in front of it.
Already in 1923 this bridge was built, which first carried the Missouri Route 14 over the Big Piney River. When Route 66 was laid across the country 3 years later, this small detour via Devils Elbow was used to save the cost of building a larger bridge.
Only in the late 1930s, when the whole world was at war, was an army base built nearby, but the bridge was too small for its needs and a four-lane direct connection was created.
