Bakersfield, California was our last overnight stay before returning home from our eleven day roadtrip to and from Monument Valley. There wasn't anything special we wanted to see while in Bakersfield, California. It was simply a city for us to stay in overnight on our return journey home. 

However, there were tons of Little Free Libraries in Bakersfield, California. We chose to find two of them near the hotel where we'd stayed the night. Both Little Free Libraries we found were super cute and filled with with many books. I loved how the second LFL shown above in my post was decorated for Halloween!

We also stayed in both Williams, Arizona and Kingman, Arizona on our roadtrip journey. Unfortunately, we didn't find any LFLs in either city on the Little Free Library app we have on our smartphones.

We loved Williams, Arizona immensely and we would like to return to Williams another time for a longer stay to see the attractions we missed seeing during our very short visit there. 

Kingman, Arizona offered a decent overnight stay. We made a quick stop to the Kingman Visitor Center before we headed out of town for Bakersfield. The Kingman Visitor Center has a drive through Route 66 sign and a museum attached to it as well. 

It's also worth noting that the Kingman Visitor Center use to be a powerhouse before it was turned into a visitor center. There's also another museum near the Kingman Visitor Center called the Mohave Museum of History and Art that I would have liked to visit during our trip along with the Kingman Railroad Museum... But alas, we simply didn't have the time to visit either museum during our quick stay in Kingman, Arizona.

We saw several places in Williams, Arizona, but the Poozeum museum was a highlight for us. It's a small museum featuring fossilized dinosaur poop. Poozeum offers free admission.

We visited the Poozeum in Williams, AZ. Free admission to see fossilized dinosaur poop!

Below are a few of the many photos we took while visiting the Kingman Visitor Center. I liked the drive through Route 66 sign, and the Route 66 gift shop and Arizona themed gift shop inside the Kingman Visitor Center. Plus, displays on the second floor for visitors to see.
