Toured the Elk City Museum Complex (National Route 66 Museum & More) - 10/24/14

Since we have had a lot of time to kill the past few days, we decided to go to the Elk City Museum Complex which consists of the Old Town Museum, Transportation Museum, Farm & Ranch Museum/Blacksmith Shop and the National Route 66 Museum.

They charged us $5.00 each and that allowed us to go to all of the museums.  We both thought it was $5.00 well spent.  All of the buildings are within walking distance from each other and all the displays were nicely done.  This, I'm sure, is a popular destination for school trips, groups, and area tourists.

Below are some pictures that I took while we were there:

There were numerous collections on display.  Wow, they even had a Popeye collection....we use to watch Popeye on TV when we were kids.

So much more to see...and it looked like they are still working on the museum complex as they were putting in more sidewalks.  We recommend if you are ever in the area of Elk City OK that you take some time out and tour this very nice museum complex.  

Good Day!!!
