The Historic Route 66 Museum in the Powerhouse Visitor Center provides a nostalgic look at the evolution of the famous route that started as a footpath followed by prehistoric Indians and evolved into a length of pavement that reached from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California. The first weekend of May each year, the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona holds the three-day Route 66 Fun Run (www.azrt66.com), a 40-mi drive along the longest remaining section of the "Mother Road." Admission to the Historic Route 66 Museum also includes a visit to the Mohave Museum of History and Arts.
