Route 66 Museum - US-66, America's Main Street, became so famous
because of the heavy, early 20th Century westward migration to California,
that it has become part of the folklore in the West. You can encounter
many 'Route 66 Museums' along I-40; this may well be the newest (at the
moment) having opened Independence Day of 2003.
So far there is not a lot to see here but, considering the enthusiasm of
many in the Barstow community, we expect the inventory to grow rapidly in
both quantity and quality.
Currently it is open from 11a. to 4p. on weekends only. When more
volunteers are volunteered they expect to expand the opening hours.
Admission is FREE but they would sure appreciate donations. "This history
must be preserved."
For more information, phone the Visitors' Center at 1-888-422-7786 (toll
free) or visit their web site: Route66Museum.
Located in the restored (combination) railroad depot, hotel and tavern
(Harvey House) on the north side of Barstow near the tracks on N. 1st
Street.
Western American Railroad Museum - Also newly opened in 2003, this
Railroad Museum houses railroad memorabilia from not only the Barstow
area, but from the entire West as well. Old locomotives, photos and
archives are on display. Outside the building are two cabooses open for
tours.
