Lake Havasu Museum of History

In 1963 Robert McCulloch bought 26 acres of desert land near Lake Havasu so that he could use the lake to test his racing engines. He also moved his chain saw factory to the area in hopes of attracting new residents and growing the city. This worked to a small extent but to attract more people McCulloch began offering free flights and all expense paid mini vacations to Lake Havasu. People who took advantage of the offer received a multi-day sales pitch of the city. The free flights continued for 15 years until 1978. Today Lake Havasu City is a thriving city with 60,000 residents and a million yearly tourists who come for the sunshine, water sports, outdoor activities, and the unusual attraction of a relocated 1831 London bridge - bought, dismantled, and reassembled by McCulloch to span the channel between the mainland and the island.

The museum tells McCullough's story along with exhibits on natural history and Native American tribes who lived along the Colorado River before the dam that formed Lake Havasu was built. 

The museum is accessible.

The museum is located in a strip shopping center and there's plenty of parking for RVs if they're pull through the spaces or parked lengthwise. Museum  34.48044, -114.35002
