The Historic Mill Creek Methodist Episcopal "ME" Church will host our 2nd Water Stop on our ride from Waynesville to Rolla.

Built in 1887, the One-Room Church was the center of Community and Worship in this little valley south of Newburg.

The US Forest Service purchased the Church and surrounding homesteads in the 1960's. By 2015 the church was scheduled to "Melt in Place" until it was purchased and moved to private property where it was restored by Mark & Diana Dean with support from the USFS and expert friends and neighbors.

The Spencer Station will host a Water Stop for our group on the first day as we ride into Willard.

In 1925, Sidney Casey walked 55 miles to purchase the "Town" of Spencer for $500. From 1926 until 1928 he constructed the General Store, Service Station, Cafe and Barber shop.

The highway bypassed Spencer 1961. Today one of the few remaining original roadbeds from Route-66 runs through Spencer.
