The Museum Club is a log roadhouse on Route 66 in Flagstaff, built around 1931 by taxidermist Dean Eldredge to show off his collection of mounted animals. It became a nightclub in the 1930s and, from the early 1960s, a country-music dance hall under Don and Thorna Scott, who booked stars such as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. It closed in September 2017 and reopened three months later under new owners.
Saving Places reports that patrons and staff describe friendly ghosts, and many believe Don and Thorna Scott never left. Legends of America tells of a woman's voice, thought to be the wife of a former owner, that speaks to people after hours; one musician was asked a question by the voice and turned around to find no one there.
Open to the public as a bar and live-music venue at 3404 E Route 66. A 2016 listing gave hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily, so check before going.
