The tour was very informative and what an interesting process. We tired a number of their varieties and enjoyed learning all about them. Tried some other non alcohol goodies and loved how the presentations. We had friends from out of state who we very impressed by the time the owners took with us, purchased several of their products and can’t wait to enjoy them.

This is a well designed museum. It is set up to follow the chronological development of Route 66. So interesting to see and read about. Plus it gost $4 or $3 for seniors and you get admission to two other nearby museums. Again, well worth a visit.

Who'd have thought their were be such as cool place in the middle of the desert outside of Kingman? The owners Don, & Jo are just genuinely fine people. We've been back twice in 3 months, each time having a nice time chatting & trying the wines they offer

We came across this place by accident as we drove down the main drag. It costs next to nothing to gain admission and we are the only visitors around 2 pm in the afternoon. They had a small display referring to the history of Kingman station and it's association with the Union Pacific railroad. On the other side of the building, were (I think) 3 different train layouts in HO, N and O Gauge. I spent 20 minutes speaking with the very knowledgeable gentlemen who was a "snow bird", living in Kingman only in "the winter" and volunteering both as a host for the model railroad layouts, but also involved in building parts of them too. They also had a small display of international (non-US) model trains including Hornby (UK), Bachmann (Germany) and Rivarossi (Italy). A pleasant and surprising hour of fun.

This was the best organized visitor center we experienced on our Rt 66 road trip. They have info/pamphlets on every city on the route (free). Plus tons of guide books and a massive collection of antique license plates from all over America, and at good prices. We did the typical browse and buy and found their license plate prices were super comparable to the internet. Nice museum, friendly staff, worth your visit for sure.

This was a very nice House for the time. Very well built, my wife was so amazed that Mr. Bonelli would install electrical wire prior to having electricity, he was ahead of his time.

Read about this stop along Route 66 and our family of six surprisingly enjoyed this chance to stretch our legs and look around. The place is closed but a few great photo ops including the main attraction, Giganticus Headicus - just saying the name makes me smile. Love these old time, kitschy attractions. We only stayed about 10 minutes but well worth the break.
