Seligman Grocery Mural

Stopping in Seligman, Arizona on a Route 66 road trip is a must. And, while in town, stopping for photos with the green postcard-style Seligman Grocery Mural on Arizona Route 66 is a must too!

Seligman, Arizona is a small town in northern Arizona. Found right on Route 66, one of the original U.S. highways that connected Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, its location played a vital role in the development and preservation of the iconic route. With an array of convenient amenities such as gas stations, diners, and motels, the town became a popular stop for motorists and travelers that captured the essence of the roadside culture and Americana of that era.

Today, Seligman is a community that prides itself on staying true to the past and keeping alive the lure of Historic Route 66. It is renowned as a bastion of Route 66 nostalgia, where visitors can experience a glimpse of the past. The town’s main street is lined with vintage signs, classic motels, iconic diners, and quirky shops that capture the essence of the highway’s golden era.

The Seligman Grocery Mural can be found on the side of a local small grocery shop and features a bright green background with postcard-style lettering that spells out the town’s name. Inside each letter is a classic scene from the classic road. Some of the sites captured in the mural include a Texaco sign, a desert road (complete with a weary skull), a train, Wigwam Motel, cars modeled after those in the movie Cars, and a Route 66 shield.

In front of the mural is a beat up old red car that transforms the mural into a 3D roadside attraction.
