Route 66 runs through town.
As you come into town from the west, you'll see the Rex Museum. It has local history, information on the Navajo code talkers in WW II and Route 66.
Route 66 is also US 118. There are several trading posts on the main road.
One of the largest is Richardson's.
The store has quite a large selection of turquoise jewelry.
The Visitor Center is near the railroad tracks.
Next door is the Chamber of Commerce with a neon sign. The sign is designed by Jerry McClanahan, author of the EZ 66 Guide for Travelers.
There is a small downtown area.
Gallup is the county seat for McKinley County and the Courthouse is a large modern building in town.
Nearby is a memorial to those lost in wars.
The El Morro Theater on Coal Street is historic.
John's Used cars is also on Coal Street.
It has a giant muffler-man cowboy.
Continuing on Coal Street, you'll find Glenn's Bakery.
