One thing I've learned while traveling Route 66 is that every stop has a story. The Heart of Route…read more66 Auto Museum in Stroud definitely delivered. I'll admit it--I don't consider myself a huge car enthusiast. I couldn't tell you every make, model, or engine size, but I certainly know a beautiful automobile when I see one. This museum is filled with them. My favorite was the gorgeous 1957 Chevy Bel Air, while the award-winning Chip Foose custom 1965 Impala absolutely stopped me in my tracks. What really surprised me were all the nostalgic touches beyond the cars. The vintage Seeburg jukebox, original drive-in movie speaker, old Route 66 signs, and classic memorabilia brought back memories of a different era. It felt like stepping back in time. The funniest part of our visit had nothing to do with cars. While I wandered through the museum reading displays and taking photos, my wife did what she does best--started chatting with another visitor. I eventually caught up to find the two of them laughing like old friends. A few minutes later we were shaking hands, exchanging phone numbers, and talking about meeting for dinner sometime since they have family near Edmond. That's Route 66 in a nutshell--you never know who you'll meet. Even if you're not a die-hard car person, I'd recommend stopping here. The museum is beautifully displayed, easy to walk through, and offers a wonderful mix of classic cars, nostalgia, and Americana. It turned out to be one of those unexpected highlights that made our Route 66 adventure even more memorable. Tip: Take your time and read the information cards next to the cars. They add a lot to the experience, especially if you're like me and appreciate the stories as much as the automobiles. (I hate that I can't organize my photos )

My eldest daughter and I spent about 30 minutes or so here walking around and taking lots of photos. Love the Tulsa sign! The huge & beautiful 1942 Frisco 4500 steam engine locomotive was an amazing sight. The 194 foot tall oil derrick is massive. There's a replica of a 1920's Phillips 66 gas station which gave a nostalgic vibe of America's Mother Road Route 66. Vintage rail cars include a historic caboose, passenger car, and oil tank car. Exterior grounds were clean and well maintained. It's called a village, but it's more an outdoor open-air exhibit that offers Oklahoma history on its oils, trains, and railroads. The visitor center operates on seasonal volunteer hours typically from April through November. Unfortunately, it was closed when we were here so we didn't get to check it out. This exhibit is definitely a Route 66 roadside attraction that shouldn't be missed. It is open to the public and admission is completely free. Parking is free, too.

One side of the room, tickets were being handled while in the middle, you get your drinks & then you move over to the other side of the place, that's where all of the food vendors were at (all local & delicious). In the middle of it all, along with a really big staircase, there was a DJ. Upstairs (during Big Bite) there was an exhibition with all kind of art displays & art installations. There was a great view from up top, especially while I was checking out Tulsa Tough. An all day event that ended with a concert featuring Sports, a band that I listen to heavy. That was in 2023, fast forward to now, there was an exhibition I visited that was hosted by BZRO & it consisted of his denim work & the history of denim. There was even an element of where you can interact with a machine that does the weaving. It was interesting learning the process of making pants & how denim was centuries ago compared to present time.

Their staff has been in the building since 2021. They recently had a display honoring James Garner, an actor from Norman. Blake Shelton has been helping them raise money needed to finish the exhibit design, construction and installation. I hope they're able to reach their goal and I look forward to seeing it in its completion.

I didn't get to touch the pump because it's behind a wired fence. I did have some fun when taking photos of it though. Please be careful when walking on the rocks as you get closer towards the pump. It was a very quick visit for us. Probably no more than 10 minutes. If I ever get a chance to come back, I will make sure I get here in time to check out the museum.
