National Route 66 Museum

This museum commemorates the popularity of Route 66. It has memorabilia from by-gone days, and the building facade resembles different stores that were seen on the main streets of America in those days. It is located next door to an Old Town Museum and a Farm and Ranch Museum.

[L.Musgrove, 02/10/2005]

Two colorful Kachina statues, approx. 16 ft. tall, stand at the museum, relics of the Queenan Trading Post on Route 66. Wanda Queenan is the museum's curator.
