Kanab, Utah
You Almost Drove Past America's Story.
40,000 square feet of history, Hollywood, and the Wild West. Most visitors spend 60–90 minutes and leave saying they almost kept driving. That would have been a mistake.
The Museum
History. Hollywood. The Real & the Reel.
Most roadside stops leave you wishing you'd kept driving. This one leaves you wishing you'd arrived sooner. Built from a 30-year private collection, every room inside is a different chapter of America. Revolutionary War documents. Civil War artifacts. Hollywood memorabilia from the films that defined generations. Classic cars. A full indoor ghost town. You won't run out of things to discover.
See it for yourself.
What's Inside
Six Rooms. Decades of Collecting. Nothing Quite Like It.
It starts before you reach the first room. The introductory hallway has a baseball signed by every original Hall of Fame inductee, including Babe Ruth, Cy Young, and Ty Cobb. It's been there since the beginning. Most people stop there for five minutes before they've even started.
American Heritage
Lincoln's personal hat. Signed by him. Verified many times over.
Documents signed by Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin. A John Hancock signature from before the Revolution. Signatures from both sides of the Civil War on the same walls: Lee, Grant, Lincoln, Stonewall Jackson. Apollo 11. The Wright Brothers. Amelia Earhart right below them. This is the room most visitors rush past, then stop and stand in for twenty minutes.

Hollywood & Beyond
Columbo's actual coat. A personal letter from Marilyn Monroe. Autographs from entire casts.
Animal House, Happy Days, Blues Brothers, Star Wars — full cast signed. Patsy Cline's dress from the Grand Ole Opry. Michael Jackson's hat and glove. James Dean and Jayne Mansfield side by side. The musicians and movie stars who made American culture, collected in one room.

History Meets Hollywood
A roulette table from Tombstone the night Morgan Earp was shot.
A battle war club pulled from the Little Bighorn battlefield the morning after the fight. Al Capone. Bonnie and Clyde. An original Dillinger wanted poster. A door from Calamity Jane's Montana home, with bullet holes experts confirmed were fired by her. This isn't mythology. These are the actual objects.

Hall of Wonderment
A full indoor ghost town with a working self-playing piano.
Taxidermy from polar bear to mountain lion, Arctic to desert. Every window in the miniature town has something happening inside it. A saloon with swinging doors, real metal ceiling tiles, and a bar hand-crafted in Italy as an exact replica of a Brunswick original. The jail is probably the most photographed spot in the museum.

Horsepower Corral
35 cars. Eight Shelbys. A Mustang Clint Eastwood drove on film.
A 1966 Mustang driven through Trouble with the Curve, rust and dirt painted on to make it look worn. A full-scale Back to the Future DeLorean replica signed by Christopher Lloyd. A 1969 Charger Daytona and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird parked side by side. Vintage neon and original car posters cover every wall, lit up and glowing. Car people lose track of time in here.

Kanab Little Hollywood
Kanab has been a Hollywood filming location since 1924.
Original lobby cards and authentic posters from Westerns shot on location across Southern Utah: Fort Apache, The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Once Upon a Time in the West. Signed pieces from John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, and Robert Duvall. The landscapes outside your window were the backlot.

What Visitors Say
Don't Take Our Word for It

“We were expecting an underwhelming tourist trap. We were wrong. It didn't look like much from the road, but it was huge. I was actually kinda shocked. It has been a high point of our road trip so far.”

“The front doesn't do the museum justice. Around every corner was cooler and cooler stuff, and the place is a lot bigger than it looks.”

“Walked in a man, walked out the kid I was decades ago. From forefathers to Hollywood to the most ridiculous muscle car collection I've ever seen. You must visit.”

“We stopped by chance. Although we are not American, the museum kept us eye-wide-opened during the whole tour. One of the best experiences in our trip. That is a must.”

“Don't be put off by the slightly cheesy outdoor décor. Inside, it's an incredible, one-of-a-kind experience that you really don't want to miss.”
