Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum

The brick building itself is part of the draw. Constructed in 1921 by John and Alice Seaba as a DX filling station — pumping a brand called NevrNox — it predates the road it sits on. When the highway that would become Route 66 was officially designated in 1926, the station was already five years old and already doing business on that same corridor. The National Park Service notes that the structure started as a filling station, expanded into full engine rebuilding, and adapted through multiple eras before eventually becoming a museum. That layered history shows in the building: the original irregular-shaped red polychrome brick, the columns that once flanked open service bays, the crenulated parapet along the flat roof. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

The collection inside spans the arc of powered two-wheelers — more than 65 vintage motorcycles ranging from 1908 to present, alongside antique bicycles, Route 66 memorabilia, and other antiques. The museum also keeps the original rock outhouse on the property, a restored 1921 structure that the NPS describes as a notable example of 1920s roadside amenities. Hours are limited and the museum operates by appointment and on weekends, so call ahead at (405) 258-9141 before making the detour.
