Seaba Station Museum

About

At Seaba Station, we share more than a century of roadside history inside one of Oklahoma’s distinctive surviving Route 66 service stations. John Seaba built the brick filling station and adjoining workshop in 1921, five years before the highway outside became U.S. Route 66. The original station combined gasoline sales with automobile repair, while Seaba later expanded into engine rebuilding and machine work. By the late 1930s, the business employed about 18 people, and during World War II it shifted toward full-time engine rebuilding. Much of the station’s historic brickwork survives, including the former open service bays, and the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

Today, our historic station is home to a collection of vintage and classic motorcycles, bicycles, Route 66 memorabilia, toys, signs, and other pieces of transportation history. The motorcycle museum opened here in 2010 after restoration work reopened several of the original service bays, giving visitors a chance to experience both the collection and the building itself. One especially unusual survivor is the station’s original stone outhouse, complete with its early plumbing fixtures. Admission has traditionally been free with donations appreciated, making Seaba Station an easy stop for travelers exploring the quieter stretch of Route 66 west of Chandler.
