This will be the new home for the Meadow Gold Milk sign that lit-up the corner of 11th and Lewis along historic Route 66 for decades.
"Everyone who's been involved in this sign is just happy this day has finally
come, when the sign parts and letters are finally going back up, " said Lee Anne Zeigler with the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture.
It took a long time, longer than anyone thought it would get to this point.
Back in the 1930's, Meadow Gold put it up atop a small building at 11th and Lewis. It was a bright beacon along Route 66 until sometime in the 1970's.
A few years ago, the owner of the building on which the sign rested decided to tear the building down.
The Foundation for Architecture and others mounted a sign rescue project using a grant from the National Parks Service Route 66 Corridor Preservation program.
