Flagstaff Visitor Center (Historic Depot)
Flagstaff Visitor Center
A 1926 Tudor-style railway station that now serves as a visitor center and Amtrak stop, and is the starting point for a Route 66 photo op.
This Tudor Revival-style railway station was built in 1926. It is still served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief, and it also serves as the official visitor center, providing maps, trail information, stargazing details, and Route 66-themed souvenirs. Right in front of the station, Route 66 runs alongside the busy BNSF freight railway, and trains often rumble past, making it a great photo spot. Admission is free, and it is a good starting point for a walking tour of downtown.
