Route 66 is symbolic of the American road trip. So how could I resist visiting the National Route 66 museum here in Elk City. It is a beautiful day with temperatures hovering around 60. Although it doesn't have the interactive electronic information centers that you would find at the Smithsonian, it does have small town charm and authenticity. Most of the centerpieces of the exhibits were donated or loaned by local citizen's in the area. With the purchase of admission you receive access to 4 musuems- National Route 66 museum, Transportation museum, Old Town museum (dedicated to the history of Elk City and Native Americans) and the Farm & Ranch museum.
A super, early period camper. The back compartment was for storage and contained a four burner stove. Designed so cars of the day could easily tow them.
Not the primary facilities at the museum
