Kingman Visitor's Center

My first venture to the Kingman Visitor's Center was fun.  There is a wall with all kinds of tourist pamphlets from the around Arizona.  The local pamphlets are in the corner.  I was most interested in these because the whether is cooling off and I want to get out and explore the area.  I got Oatman, Peach Springs, Chloride and Dolan Springs information.   Also lots of Kingman brochures, including map to the Monolith, Cerbat trail system.  They have books about local history.  I got a couple books about Arizona ghosts.  There are touristy knick knacks.  Sheri is interested in post cards and they were available for only $.30 each.

The building is located in an old power plant.  It also houses the Route 66 museum.
