Depew is a picturesque historic town located on an original 1920s concrete alignment of Route 66. Originally a thriving oil boomtown, it dwindles to a shadow of its former population. However, its legacy is a main street lined with early statehood buildings, testimony of the town’s former grandeur.

Though many of the buildings are currently unusable, their outer beauty remains and enthusiastic citizens are transforming the boarded up windows into canvases for faux stained glass design.
