Fun little stop along our journey. Free to get in. Can spend 10min or an hour here and get something out of it. We spent about 15min for a walk through and bathroom break. My children and I enjoyed it greatly.

The museum is small but well appointed. Growing up we traveled Route 66 every summer, from California to Lebanon, MO. to visit relatives. The museum displays represented many aspects of the Mother Road I was unaware of. Very interesting, and the gift shop is well worth a visit.

Nice little stop for my family on our Route 66 adventure. Its a small museum, but it has lots of historical information on Route 66, as well as other Routes across the United States (and its free). The gift shop is great... lots of items for sale from locals, and everything else offered is made in the USA

Good history of Rt 66, especially in Missouri. People are very friendly and helpful. Exploring Rt 66 for the first time, we have tried to stick to a mix of formal museums and the old places on the way. Having started at Cuba, Missouri and now in Miami, OK, it seems to be working OK. Suggest you get the newish Rt 66 Passport as you can get places to stamp the passport (even if they are not in the passport) and feebies are on offer!

It is a really neat little museum. I was naively under the impression that it was a full Route 66 museum, but it is a local area Route 66 Museum. Either way, it is great to see some historical pictures and information about the iconic highway. After you walk through the museum you should check out the gift shop. It smells wonderful and the lady who works their is a delight to talk to.

Calling this a Museum might be overselling it. There are a couple of neat items in it that pertain to the Route 66, but nothing Id plan a trip over.
