Hackberry, AZ
Old gas pumps, rusted trucks and a mountain of road memorabilia on the longest unbroken stretch of Route 66.
The Hackberry General Store in Hackberry (Arizona) is a Route 66 shop about 28 miles (45 km) northeast of Kingman; the town sits at roughly 4,023 ft (1,226 m). The building began in 1934 as the Northside Grocery with a Conoco station and closed in 1978 after Interstate 40 bypassed the town. The artist Bob Waldmire reopened it in 1992 as a souvenir shop and information stop for Route 66 travelers; John and Kerry Pritchard took over in 1998, and Amy Franklin in 2016.
The store lies on an 86-mile (138 km) stretch of old Route 66 between Seligman and Kingman. Outside stand vintage Pegasus gas pumps, rusted Model A cars, a red 1957 Corvette and five Burma-Shave signs; inside are signs, license plates and souvenirs. The store has no advertising signage, and many drivers pass right by. Admission is free; allow some time for photos outside and check the opening hours in advance.
