Kingman Visitor Center — Local services in Kingman

The Kingman Visitor Centre is located in the old Powerhouse building on Andy Devine Ave. in the historic district. This is a neat place to stop if you are interested in seeing some of the local historic sites in Kingman. Opening hours are 8am to 5pm daily.

The Powerhouse was originally constructed in 1907 and provided power to the local community until 1938 with the completion of the Hoover Dam. Today the building hosts the Kingman Visitor Centre and the Route 66 Museum.

The Visitor Centre is a good place to pick up brochures and learn about local tourism. There is a small gift shop area and an upstairs display area regarding the rise of Kingman and its boom years in the 1950s to 60s, on the back of Route 66 which brought tourism and transportation related business through Kingman.

The Route 66 Museum (US$4 per adult) is located upstairs and provides a colourful walk through American travel out West which came through this area of Arizona. You'll find interesting text, artefacts and displays ranging from the early period of Westward expansion, the Great Depression and the golden years of American automobile tourism along Route 66.
