The history of Kingman's Army base from WWII (and the 35,000 soldiers who trained here) has been on display at the Kingman Army Airfield Museum inside an original hangar from the base. The museum's last day of operation was Wednesday, May 25th. The museum has struggled for years and the volunteers operating it decided it was too strenuous to keep up. The museum's collection will be auctioned off. The Mohave County Museum of History and Arts, Powerhouse Route 66 Museum, and Kingman Railroad Museum are all still open.

One of the first roads in Kingman, built before the invention of the automobile, is still clearly visible and open to the public. Slabs of limestone were strenuously transported along the road from nearby Metcalfe Quarry and used to build the Mohave County Courthouse, St Mary's Church, and Hotel Brunswick (along with several other buildings/homes). The White Cliffs Wagon Trail is located near downtown Kingman with a parking area at 1714 White Cliffs Road. After parking you'll cross a small a bridge over the wash and find the wagon trail remnants about 200 feet away.
