Welcome to Kingman: Mohave Museum of History and Art

 The Mohave Museum of History and Art if very thorough.  This includes Native American History, Beale Road history, Highway 66 history, mining history.  It has a very good section on Andy Devine and a small auditorium where they are showing a movie of him.  They have art work displayed in the auditorium.  This is mostly of western themes and characters.  They also have a very good display of the Kingman Army Air Field.  The museum is well worth the time and money.  In addition when you purchase the ticket you are also getting entry to the Route 66 Museum and the Bonelli House tour.  You can't do much better than that.  This mining history explains what minerals were mined at different sites.  There is also something unusual, portraits of all the presidents and first ladies.  

Unfortunately the outdoor exhibits were closed due to the Covid situation.  I have a reason to go back.

The museum has a very nice library attached.  I think I will be back many ties to take advantage of this.  

Welcome to Kingman Thirteen: Museums

Bonelli House was built in 1915 and occupied by the Bonelli family until the sold the home to the city of Kingman.  It was make from tuff stone blocks to resist fire as the family had a previous home burn down.  It is now used for tours presenting a period view.  The home had electricity and thus many appliances.

Welcome to Kingman Ten: Kingman Army Air Field Gunnery School Museum

 During WWII Kingman was quite a busy place with the gunnery school.  I noted there is a museum at the airport memorializing this event.  However when I tried to visit the museum, I realized I was a couple years too late as the museum has been closed.  I discovered it closed in 2016.  Personal items were returned to the owners and all other items were auctioned off.  It had been in an old hangar that was in use during WWII.  The radio tower still remains at the air field however.  The Mohave Museum of History and Art has a section dedicated to the Kingman Army Air Gunnery School.
