Interesting place, plenty to see, reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Great if you want a little variety, there are quite a few different buildings that house different types of collections. A really great little local history museum.

Wow. Very impressed. You can walk through an old western town and look through the windows of the buildings at the exhibits. Extremely well done and well kept. Also, the National Rt 66 and Transportation Museum is well worth a visit. Thoroughly enjoyed!

We really enjoyed our visit to the museums and displays. We are road tripping with our motorcycle the hole Route 66. The sign is amazing “Worlds Largest Route 66 sign” so we had to get a shot with the bikes and of course the all important selfie. Thanks for a well laid out visit.

Great stop to see and get your legs some walking after driving! Museum admission is reasonable to bring the family. Its a place to bring knowledge and memories. The soda fountain has a real juke box and bottle soda. All around this was the PERFECT stop!!

Interesting museums in an authentic old house. Two museums in the building- upstairs is a small rodeo museum. We visited the museums as part of a museum complex in Elk City that made it easy to visit all the museums easily. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Review №25

Wonderful exhibits. Lots of old time things, but not cluttered or overwhelming. Added bonus were chairs or areas to sit down while enjoying the exhibits. Mother cant walk or stand much anymore but this small gesture made the visit very enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend if you enjoy looking into the past.

This is a very nicely planned, well done and maintained museum, that included four different museum buildings as well as the antique village. We were impressed with all the memorabilia collected. From antique farm equipment to the recreated village with store fronts. The two story home filled with memories of the past, including a second floor Rodeo museum was interesting. Well worth the $5 and a must see for Rt66 history.

Stated as National route 66 museum,, the rt 66 is a small part of this museum. The balance is a local historical museum...blacksmith, farm, windmills, rodeoNot so much rt 66. Therefore the 3 star rating.

A great collection of historical items located in period buildings with a focus on local history related to the rise and fall of Route 66. Walking the grounds you can peek inside windows to see complete historical scenes in the businesses that once populated Route 66 in the area. There is a working blacksmith shop where customers are encouraged to interact, ask questions and participate. A great stop for all ages on our cross country trip.

Worth stopping with all the history it had to offer. Small fee to enter. A cold day so did not spend much time at outside history buildings.

Review №74

We loved looking at the historical objects and learning about the history of the building. Its also a tourist information center. Its free but after your tour you will want to make a donation. Rumor has its haunted.

Review №75

For just a few bucks a person, this kitschy, kitchen-sink local museum might just have something interesting for everyone in the car. It claims to be the Route 66 Museum, but once you get past the first couple buildings (dedicated to the good ol days to an eye-rolling degree for a millennial like me) youre looking at local history exhibits. An interesting glimpse at small-town Americana.
