California Route 66 Museum, Transport museum in Victorville, US.
The California Route 66 Museum is a transport museum in Victorville dedicated to America's legendary highway through three exhibition rooms. The collection displays photographs, artifacts, and classic automobiles that document different periods of this famous route.
The museum opened in 1995 inside a former restaurant building that had been used as a filming location. This choice of location directly connects the museum to Route 66's broader history as a place where people gathered and stories unfolded.
The exhibits show how Route 66 shaped American travel and the desire for freedom on the open road through vintage vehicles and memorabilia. These displays reveal how the highway became a symbol of adventure and independence in popular culture.
The facility is relatively compact and easy to explore in one visit, with clear navigation through the exhibition rooms. Plan to spend one to two hours there depending on your interest in the details.
The museum building stands at the exact spot where Victorville was originally founded, near where a historic train station once stood. This location makes the building itself a piece of local history rather than just a place to view it.
