Phillipsburg is a lovely village known for its connection to the historic Route 66, considered to be the "Mother Road" in the United States throughout the 20th century. The quaint village is known for historic businesses like its 1880s-era Old Phillipsburg General Store, originally founded by Baltimore transplant Thomas Wildey, which once served as a lodge hall for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Redmon's Candy, which claims to be the "world's largest gift store," is known for its delicious homemade fudges and chocolates. Other delightful Route 66-associated attractions include Carter and Lawson's Underpass Cafe and Service State and the remains of the Route 66 Roadside Park attraction.
