You have to search for this great little museum, as it is not directly on Route66, but a part of the Harvey Hall, by the rail tracks.
Some really nice exhibits and worth a visit if you're passing through.

Such a delightful walk through history for this Baby Boomer! Great authentic memorabilia. Good prices on souvenirs and t shirts at store. A+
This was a great little stop on our road trip! A wide assortment of American memorabilia ranging from a working jukebox, local history, WWII items, a mustang, and of course plenty about Route 66. Completely self guided, take as little or as much time as much time as you like, and I'll bet there's *something* most anybody will find interesting. I also appreciated that the bathroom was very clean. Thank you very much!
Great place! Absolutely worth visiting! If you go to or from Las Vegas find a time and add this place to your map for visiting. It absolutely worth! The people, who created this museum did a wonderful job! There are so many unique things. The information was collected with professional knowledge. Some stuff is simple but it creates a very warm atmosphere. Feel free to spend some money in the gift shop. Good presents from unique place every time are valuable 🕰️
What a really Interesting place ...So gutted that it was shut today (Monday) when I called there. That said I was able to MCFC the window ...😉🤠⚽🇺🇸
Very friendly and helpful staff, they opened early for us, I spent too much money, but I’m satisfied with the quality.
This place is awesome you can take pictures with the trains really a piece of history. Across the road is a river bed during the monsoon season there are flash floods and the river bed gets full absolutely beautiful
Note: They are closed until January 6th, but there are still some old trains in display outdoors. It’s right next to Barstow station and Harvey House, it’s an awesome spot if you’d enjoy train watching! Barstow station is incredibly beautiful during sunset. Would definitely come back for the museum next time!
Great little museum and it is free. Jukebox works. Wish it was in a larger building. They have some great displays like a Ford mustang convertible, gas pump, motorcycle, and other memorabilia. Great route 66 items for sale at a decent price.
Deb was great to talk with today :) The museum has many great displays of history from along the Route, and lots of souvenirs, as well as great books with all kinds of historical information! They also have rack cards and full sheet sized printouts of info available!!
