National Route 66 Museum, Elk City, OK

We spent this afternoon at the Museum Complex in Elk City, OK, which includes The Old Town Museum, The Farm & Ranch Museum, The Transportation Museum and The Blacksmith Museum, as well as the National Route 66 Museum.  Although this is the "National" Route 66 Museum, we both felt that the one in Victorville, CA was much better.  It is a very nice complex that reminded me of a mini-Greenfield Village.

don't go through!

An old White treadle sewing machine.  This reminded
me of the one my Grandma had.  She used to see
a dress on a little girl that she liked, make a
newspaper pattern of it and make it on her
White sewing machine.
 
This picture and the next one are of a statue
titled "Binding Contract".
