Hackberry General Store is a Route 66 institution, 23 miles east of Kingman on the original alignment of the highway. The store is part gift shop, part diner, part living museum of the highway's golden years. Vintage vehicles rust picturesquely in the yard, old petrol pumps stand under the desert sun, and the interior is packed with memorabilia, photographs, and ephemera from the Route 66 era.
Don't blink driving through — the turnoff is easy to miss, and the store is easy to mistake for an abandoned building until you spot the other cars pulled over. It's a natural stop for anyone driving east from Kingman toward Seligman, and on a busy summer weekend the parking lot fills with motorcycles, classic cars, and campervans. The people-watching here is half the attraction.
