Which Oklahoma city is home to the National Route 66 Museum?

Clinton, Oklahoma, is home to the National Route 66 Museum.

The museum is part of the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum complex in western Oklahoma. Its exhibits interpret the road’s history through automobiles, signs, photographs, business memorabilia, maps, and recreated roadside scenes. The museum presents Route 66 as both a transportation route and a major part of twentieth-century American popular culture.

Clinton’s location is significant because the city developed along the historic highway and became a recognizable stop for travelers crossing Oklahoma. The museum is located near the former Route 66 alignment and serves as a major heritage attraction for visitors following the surviving road.

Elk City also has an important Route 66 museum complex, while Tulsa and Oklahoma City have their own highway-related landmarks. These nearby attractions can create confusion, but the National Route 66 Museum specifically belongs to Clinton.
