National Route 66 Museum and Old Town Museum Complex in Elk City, Oklahoma

A place worth knowing

Make room for Elk City.

Make Elk City more than a roadside photograph by giving the Route 66 museum complex some time. A quieter park or lake interval can follow if conditions suit. Choose exact visitor entrances and leave room for a local meal rather than hurrying between highway landmarks.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

National Route 66 Museum Complex

Use Elk City’s current visitor information to plan the museum complex, including its highway and local-history collections. Confirm building hours and admission; several exhibits on one campus do not necessarily share identical access.
