Hi Gregory,
Tks for sharing your pics.
The one of the Museum in its heydey is certainly a most interesting
document of historical info!

Does anyone have good instructions on how to locate the old museum? Do we need to contact anyone about prowling The ruins of the museum are impossible to miss, once you've turned gotten
to the Meteor Crater exit from the highway. As you head off the highway
and begin to go toward the crater, there will be a gas station on your right,
and a road that leads toward the fully-visible Museum ruins on your
left. That old road toward the Museum is (barely) paved, and it may
or may not be actual Route 66 pavement. Nininger's Museum was always
advertised as being right on Route 66 but I'm still unsure if the road from the
gas station to the Museum is actually a remnant of "The Mother Road" or
not.
As to permission/accessibility, I've heard various reports -- it seems to
depend on whom you talk to. When I went there for the first time, I
had been told in advance that the Museum ruins were on private property and
trespassers would be prosecuted if caught. However, in chatting with
employees of that nearby gas station, they said, "Sure, no problem, go on
up and take a look." So I did. ;-)
The Museum in its heyday:
And the way it looks now (with the rim of the crater in the distance)
Have fun! Gregory
