Kingman, Arizona was one of the last cities to be bypassed when I-40 was completed in the 1980s. Route 66, the “Mother Road”, ran through downtown and even now the 52 mile section from Topnock to Kingman is one of the longest intact portions. The museum follows the history of the road from Indian trails, to wagon road, to paved highway. The dust bowl refugee display is especially interesting.
Everything is accessible. A museum employee must unlock a door to provide wheelchair access to a section on the second floor.
The parking lot is big enough for any RV. Museum

Oh! You're in my old neighborhood! Dirtville is just 40 miles west.
ReplyDeleteWow, you were in the middle of nowhere! I can see why you were happy to make it over the cattle guard. :-D
