We visited in the beginning of May, 2023. This not a large museum. But it is very well done. It pays tribute to the area. There are many interesting artifacts to see. It was worth the stop.
Amazing Fudge shop! Lots to shop.
Staying in town for the day/night. Never been to this 66 Museum before & had to check it out. Alot of history displayed. Worth the visit. Free admission but donations are welcome.
This museum hasn't been open that long, but it's such a gem. A Norwegian family drove up at the same time I did. I used their phone to take a picture of them. Believe only one spoke English but we were able to communicate just fine. A couple from England also toured. They do ask for donations, but no one twisted my arm. The guy behind the counter was very informative and walked around in the building answering questions, etc. There is on room dedicated to veterans from the area. The museum isn't so large that it's overwhelming. Just the right size to me. I did learn that Milnot, the canned milk was invented in Litchfield by a creamery there. Also Chili Man Chili was also invented by the same creamery. It's a must stop if you like history or anything to do with the Mother Road. Don't forget to walk across the street and eat at the Ariston Cafe. It's been open since 1924.
This is a cute little stop if you're making a trek along Route 66. The museum gives a comprehensive history of the town with some fun artifacts. You can tell the folks who run this museum are proud of their town's contributions to the history of Route 66. Definitely worth checking out if you need to stretch your legs on a long road trip.
