In all my years of writing reviews, I have never received such a hilariously thoughtful comment from a biz owner.

It sounds as if the museum has made a lot of improvements in the last 4 years, not to mention, added a punch of personality to an otherwise drab subject matter! Still no singing cowboy, though :(

I was extremely impressed by the cultural center. We…read morestumbled upon the cultural when looking for lunch on a road trip thanks to the attached cafe. The man warmly welcoming us at the gate was wonderful, the food at the cafe was a delight, and the grounds were relaxing and educational in equal measure. We intended to just get lunch and go, but we stayed around, exploring the grounds and learning of the Chickasaw people for 3 more hours. My opinion of this place cannot be overstated, I have paid good money for admission to much, much worse parks, and this one is absolutely free!

They have tons of items for sale and local stuff too so it's very much not commercial in its approach. Really nothing bad to say about this little stop.

Forgotten Wheels is a well organized museum with a wide range of antique vehicles of all kinds. The owner is a friendly guy who has lots of knowledge about all the items located inside.

If you have an hour (or 2 or more) to spare, Forgotten Wheels is well worth visiting.

It has a free classic car and memorabilia MUSEUM that is really fun to see when you need a break from the boring drive along that part of I-40. It has lots of food options from nachos to banana pudding with vanilla wafers. They even have a restaurant if the gas station junk food isn't your style. I'm telling you, you won't find another gas station serving the kind of food they serve there- everything from steaks, to burritos, to catfish! They have lots of souvenirs and groceries galore. They even have a chapel! It's great for families or truckers needing a shower. The restrooms were clean and the employees were great- especially Dominic! It's a stop you won't regret. And your dog with thank you BECAUSE THEY EVEN HAVE A DOG PARK! It'll rejuvenate you and you'll be ready for the road again! * these photos are from their website www.russellsttc.com
