The Route 66 Museum in Ash Fork is operated by the local Historical Society. It is located a few blocks off of route 66 in an old transportation building. Just like the Route 66 museum we volunteer in, this one is also staffed by volunteers. The building was interesting inside and out and is well worth a stop when traveling route 66.

It has a lot of route 66 memorabilia but one thing we found interesting was  a model of the old Escalante Hotel which was a Harvey House. After looking at the model we had to go over to where the ruins of the building were. All that was left was a small part of the foundation and it was a really huge facility. Next we had to go over to the library to look at old photos to try to figure out what the orientation of the building was. Karen always says she just needs to know. LOL

Outside on one of the old fire trucks we ran into L'ill Umberto who has been following us ever since we visited Rachel Nevada outside Area 51. Here he was going for a ride on the front of this old fire truck.
