Great place to visit! Make sure to do all 3 museums....pay for one, see them all. Lovely ladies greeted us upon entry, directed our path and we really enjoyed the walk through.

Ive walked through a dozen small town history museums since I started Route 66. This museum had similar themes but was probably one of the best designed museums Ive seen. They also have more space than most of them, which gives them an advantage. It covers Native American history, the mining history, trains, local boys that made it big (Andy Devide specifically) a little Route 66 history and a few other topics specific to this area. It was well done.

This museum is dedicated to the ancient people that lived in the area to the settlers that traveled across country in search of a dream and a better life. Route 66 brought Native Americans, ranchers, miners, soldiers and everyday people to an area to find a new life. This museum is filled with artifacts and stories of the hardships they endured and the determination of those people. Fascinating real life accounts, photographs and maps to bring us closer to the past. They also have an hour long film which you should take time to watch and a room filled with the first electric cars. A must see!

The Mohave Museum of Industry is included in the price for the Arizona Route 66 Museum. An eclectic display of Native American, Cowboy/Ranching/Americana and Andy Devine artifacts.

Was close to the Tesla supercharger. Not bad if youre wanting to kill some time.My husband and I joked about how the electric cars section should included some sort of Tesla to show how far weve developed the car of the future.

Just went thru there loved the miniatures exhibit. Also like the fact that they had the president and their wives and their presidents section. really makes you appreciate life it seems like it was very difficult back in the day and to see the struggles that the people had to go through really makes you appreciate what you have.The staff there was verythe lady at the front spoke with me for about 5 minutes explaining all the exhibits and different things to do around in the city.Definitely recommend stopping by and checking me out Kingmans has a lot of history

Good place to visit, for interesting local history. Most of the information would be hard to find in published historical records making this place a Jem. Work your way around and you will find out why route 66 in Kingman is known as Andy Divine Road. Also enjoyable is the interpretive history of the Mohave.

Its a small place to visit but this museum shows all the past & current presidents. Its free for us to go because we went to the powerhouse-Route 66 museum first in order for us to go-to this museum, so its worth it.

A very good museum with lots to see inside and outdoors. Railroad cars you can enter and mock mine shafts to explore. Inside has a impressive assortment of all types of items from the western frontier days. I will come back whenever in town to show my friends. Extremely friendly service with lots of answers to questions.

Between being one of three locations you can see every portrait of our presidents and first ladies in America, to showcasing the unique history of mohave county and both its indigenous and pioneer communities in an unique and extreme detail, to the least expensive entrance fee Ive seen on route 66, Id say that it was quite worth the visit. Lovely stuff.

Here I go again. Another small museum in a desert city, with miles and miles of miles and miles in all directions from Kingman. This is, for me anyway, a wonderful stop between Las Vegas and Phoenix, Via Wickenburg of course! The mural on the outside is inviting, the docents are so friendly, some may feel like victims, as the docent continues telling history and presidential facts, and how much they love their town, it is very sweet. Now the Museum, Andy Devine (probably unknwn to the current generation f Yelpers) was born in Kingman and he has a special room of memorabilia. He was quite a star in his era. The complete set of presidential and first lady portraits in excellent. This is only one of 3 (or four depending on who tells the story) sets in the world. With the docent passing interesting tidbits about many of the presidents it really adds to the flavor of this museum. There is a lot of rusty stuff about mining and the railroad era, a move abut one of the last steam engines, history about WWII and the thousands of planes that ended up in Kingman, The entry fee was 3 buck a head and includes 2 other historic places in Kingman. So Stop, Stretch your legs, and enjoy a bit of southwestern history..
