What a hidden gem. There are cars, barbershop chairs, jukeboxes and other collectibles. The even cooler thing about this museum is that 100% of the donations go to feed needy individuals and families.

Not only does this place have a small but amazing museum of cars (mostly 1950-1968), but there is an excellent dog run (very clean) and a chapel! This is one of the only truck stops I would strongly recommend that folks see... especially if you have a dog and you like free car museums.

I happened upon this free museum of vintage cars and decorative items inside a travel center. I have been telling anyone I know who might pass it to take the time to stop. It's nicely presented and generously shared with the public!

What a special surprise! We stopped for a bathroom break and discovered a great gift shop, Route 66 diner, and an amazing car museum with a great and enthusiastic staff to show us around.

Russell's also claims to have "the best showers on the planet," so visitors may want to bring a towel for the full attraction experience.
