Pete's Rt 66 Gas Station Museum in Williams, Arizona, offers a nostalgic trip back to the heyday of Route 66. This small, privately-owned museum showcases a collection of vintage gas station memorabilia, classic cars, and artifacts from the golden age of American road trips. Visitors appreciate the authentic atmosphere and the opportunity to see well-preserved items from the mid-20th century.
The museum's strength lies in its carefully curated displays, which include old gas pumps, signs, and automotive accessories. Many guests find the owner, Pete, to be friendly and knowledgeable, often sharing interesting stories about the exhibits and the history of Route 66. The museum's location in a restored gas station adds to its charm and authenticity.
However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in a short amount of time. While this might disappoint those expecting a larger facility, others find it to be a perfect quick stop during their Route 66 journey. A few reviews mention that some areas could benefit from better organization or more detailed information about the exhibits.
The museum's gift shop offers Route 66 souvenirs, which many find enjoyable, though some consider the prices to be on the higher side. Despite its compact size, most visitors feel that Pete's Rt 66 Gas Station Museum provides a worthwhile experience for those interested in American automotive history and the culture of Route 66.
I tried to go in to see if he had these husky signs for sale in the actual shop part bc my service dog is a husky mix. Pete the owner shooed me off saying no pets. I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD & said my dog was a service dog & not a pet. He called me a bitch & said his wife was allergic, which I informed him that per the ADA allergies is not an excuse for denying a service animal. Again he called me a bitch & said my dog wasn't wearing a vest. I also informed him per the ADA service dogs aren't required to have signage. I couldn't even disclose the 2 question rule as he postured & called me names. At one point I was trying to pull up the law for him but he physically tried to push me out of the building. Once he pushed me off he slammed the garage door to make sure he could pick & choose who could come in.
As I was leaving a Yelp review there were several other patrons who said during COVID he denied them access if they were wearing masks. Another said he denied due to race. So this owner seems to have no issues breaking the ADA multiple times. So I filed an ADA claim against him with the DOJ. Others should follow suit.
Edit: came back when door was opened (he thought I wasn't going to come back) to take a picture of his allergy & no pets sign. Wife was sitting there unaffected of my service dog being on the other side of the building for 5-10 min which her husband claimed she'd die if my service dog stepped foot in that establishment.
