During setup we noticed several issues with the electrical post. I called the museum and a kind gentleman named Tom stopped by the next morning. He replaced both the 20 amp and 50 amp breakers in about half an hour. Tom was a very nice man and I enjoyed chatting with him. Great service! Free wifi worked at the site and it was blazing fast. My AT&T phone had 3 bars and my wife's Verizon phone had 4 bars. Road traffic was loud but our white noise CD mostly blocked it out at night. All things considered this was a great deal at only $20.00 per day. Dave's Grocery down the street is above average for a small town. Good prices and they also have fresh fruits and vegetables. Don't miss the Fort Sumner Historic Site. Excellent museum with interactive exhibits that will literally bring you to tears!

There were so many (like the Buiks) that I had never heard of, but loved! Tons of Chevys of all kinds in here.

This was a bonus stop that you can only do when you are doing a road trip. I just never know where you're gonna be. I love the history of Route 66 back in the day my family had a Hugh connection with that road. We've been on most of it, but not all of it and it's always fun to hit another part. I'm not sure why I had to buy another hat, but I did. The museum was fabulous. Not just the cars, but all the paraphernalia, and the old signs were great.. I WOULD RECOMMEND

There is a small library, pages of information to read and tons of historical relics. There are old covered wagons, a cool caboose and farm equipment. There is a rock and bone room that is quite interesting. There are displays of old western wear, quilts, old postcards, photos, and a gabillion other things. If you're traveling I-40 west through Tucumcari, I highly recommend stopping to look at the cool architecture, the museum and the town's 1960's feel.

The trail behind the small center leads down to the quarry area and to an enclosed exhibit. The enclosed exhibit covers an excavated area showing all levels and exposed fossils/ bones. Signs tell you which layers and time period you are looking at. The trail leads around the quarry with interpretive signs along the way. Inside the center there are a few interpretive posters and fossils that give you a little information before the trail. The information could be better and more straight forward so I would suggest reading about the site history ahead of time or going to the museum in town first for better background information. There is also a gift shop inside the center. Pro tip: It was very hot the day we went (95 degrees) and we were out mid-day. I suggest getting here as early as possible, wearing lots of sunscreen, and long sleeves. They do worn you about rattle snakes so closed toed shoes are best. A porta-potty was located on the trail.
