Description
The famed Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico is a True Gem along Historic Route 66.
Originally named the Blue Swallow Court when it opened in 1942, this historic motor court, with its distinctive attached garages located between the rooms, also had a café on site.
When the original owners passed in the 1950s, the new owners installed this beautiful large neon sign and modernized the name by changing it from the Blue Swallow Court to the Blue Swallow Motel.
Still in operation today, the Blue Swallow has undergone extensive restoration work to maintain its historic charm and character while providing the modern conveniences that today's travelers require.
The Blue Swallow was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
