The Unoffical McDonald's Museum

Last year about this time, we started taking local trips to see some Roadside Attractions. One of the First places we went too was the Unoffical McDonald's Museum in San Bernardino, California. The orginal Museum (Or so says, psuedo-owner Ray Kroc and Money Machine) is located in Des Plaines, Illinois which is a recreation of the original first branched McDonald's after the Kroc talked the McD brothers into incorporating and then later buying them out.

The San Bernardino version is located at the orginal site of the very first McDonalds (Sort of, the first started in Arcadia, but the Airdome was moved to San Bernardino about 3 years later) and became a popular teen hangout that later sparked the Fastfood Craze. After the location went through a number of owners and became run down, the current owner decided to purchase the spot and make it a Museum. The Current owner is a restraunter himself, owning the local legend Juan Pollo. He also bought another Route 66 historic location...The town of Amboy!

Anyhow, I was perusing old photos and found that I had never got around to posting our pics. So Here you go! And if you get a chance take a trip out and check out the Museum.
