Route 66 Museum: Kingman

 The Highway 66 Museum is located in the old Power Plant building with the Visitors Center.  It is upstairs.  I really enjoyed the John Steinbeck section.  The had an old truck which would be similar to the Joads traveling across the country,  There was also a good display of the old city center in the days of Route 66.
