February 21-26, 2023 Kingman Arizona Part 2

On Tuesday, February 21st, we stopped at the PO to pick up our mail and then to the Powerhouse that contained the Visitor Center and Route 66 Museum.

From there we went to the Route 66 museum where we learned about the history of the road and Kingman. (Note: the next pictures may be hard to read on a phone.  Should be better on a computer.)

I have written about Harvey Houses before and have visited a few of them.  These were some of the rules that the Harvey Girls had to follow.

The museum was like following a time line.  Once we left the 1930-1940’s area, we came to the 1950’s:

So sad for many of the towns along the road.

We made our way downstairs where we watched a real nice movie on Route 66 and then made our way to the Electric Car Museum.  Check out some of these cars:
