Historic Graffiti Cruise Route Historical Markers
The Historic Graffiti Cruise Route captures the elements that inspired the 1973 George Lucas film American Graffiti. The film created a nostalgic resurgence of ‘50s music and led to the hit TV series Happy Days. The Modesto Convention & Visitors Bureau placed 25 historical markers along the original route.
