The fledgling New Mexico Route 66 Museum in Tucumcari received a $5,000 donation from the First National Bank of New Mexico, reported the Quay County Sun, based in Tucumcari.
That’s on top of the $3,000 from the Tucumcari Federal Savings and Loan Association and $5,000 from the McMullen Trust.
The museum inside the Tucumcari Convention Center is scheduled to open with regular hours sometime in June.
The newspaper said the museum will hold a soft opening during the concurrent Rockabilly on the Route and Wheels on 66 events in Tucumcari on June 7-9.
