The ladies running this museum are some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable we have seen anywhere. A great collection of memorabilia from the town and many of its prominent citizens. The old train depot is also a wonderfully preserved treat."

You can even tour the caboose with the kids (of any age) and there’s some really great photo ops. Bristow has a really interesting and rich history, and Georgia is especially wonderful there. :) I highly recommend you mark this off as a must see along your Route 66 trip or any reason when in Bristow."

Highly recommend and the museum is very clean and well taken care of. Don't forget to see the caboose; it was a nice treat to climb aboard and see the inside of an original."
