This is a really nice museum which wont take long to get around but is full of information about the history of Route 66. best still is that the entry also entitles you to entry to the town's other museums as well, so great value. We stopped off for brunch at the diner and then visited the museum on our... More

We always bring out of town visitors here. They always love it, and get a taste of the real KINGMAN. Even though we keep coming back with friends and family, there is always something new, and enough changes that we don't get bored, even though we have been here about every 6 months in the 3 years that we have...

Anybody interested in Route 66 should stop here for a few hours. The cost is reasonable and the exhibits convey the culture / circumstances that make Route 66 a legend the world over. Don't miss this piece of Americana.

We intended on just coming to see the museum, but the ladies at the front desk on the lower level were so friendly and knowledgeable that we spent much longer here than we thought we would. They inquired as to what our travel plans were, and after we told them they whipped out tons of brochures, maps, guides and insider... More

Kingman was an unplanned stop due to a significant snow storm earlier in the day which put us behind schedule. When we awoke and saw the signs for the museum, we thought why not - we were not disappointed. Very informative museum with extremely helpful staff. The photos of the kids really drew me in to the experience of Rte... More

What an interesting place to visit! Obviously well planned. We also got to see the Mojave Museum as well as the home of the Kingmans all for the $3 each we paid for the Rt.66 museum. Do not miss ANY of these stops...well worth the time in all of them.

This little museum has so much for a little town. We spent an hour or so the first day and received two tickets to two other attractions for the price of admission to this one. We ended up going back again and spent an afternoon as well. It documents the life in this area from the time of settling in... More

Strangely enough, we did not stop here for the museum. We stopped here to see the the marker at 3,333.33 feet above sea level. It's in front of this Route 66 museum at the Powerhouse Visitor's Center. While not all of this museum held my attention, the artwork was excellent. They had a car with one of the first air... More

The Historic Route 66 museum did everything you would expect... The story of route 66 was interesting and well told and there was also a not so tacky gift shop for the obligatory bumper sticker. Stayed in a local motel so got free entry as well!!!
