A little news item in the Desert Dispatch of Barstow, Calif., caught my eye:
Council approves a 20-year-lease for Route 66 Museum — The City Council voted unanimously to extend the lease for the Route 66 Museum in the Harvey House for 20 more years. The museum will pay $1 annually for the space.
I didn’t hold much doubt the museum in Barstow’s Harvey House would be in danger.
However, this vote of confidence remains a tribute to the Route 66 Mother Road Museum and the efforts of longtime curator Deb Hodkin.
Visiting the museum and experiencing the staff’s hospitality is well worth your time.
Here’s a good video about the museum:
