National Route 66 Museum Complex

The National Route 66 Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma is one of many museums commemorating this historic road. It stands out in the quality of many of the displays but also the scope of it's displays. Not only does the museum cover classic cars, tourist traps, and drive-in culture but it has additional displays covering the cultural and industrial history of Oklahoma.

Route 66 is one of the few remaining and remembered byways from the early days of cross country motor travel. In a day before the interstate system and standardized routes—when motor clubs marked roads and popular thruways had their own name—Route 66 was the Mother Road.
