Russell's Truck & Travel Center

"Great stop along the way. Free antique and car museum right there inside the gas station. They do except donations but there was no pressure into doing so. Reasonably priced for a gas station but keep in mind it is a convenience store so prices are a little marked up compared to a normal grocery store."

"Wow was I surprised when I went in, like multiple stores in one, including a subway, very nice laundromat, new showers, TV lounge, antique car and memorabilia museum, even a chapel. Plenty of parking, kind helpful employees. Wonderful place to bring yourself or the whole family."

"If this was on your bucket list, better do it now. Awesome place full of raw american culture. Unfortunately, its been sold to TA. Things have already been rebranded inside. I asked the cashier about the future of the place and she said the museum will be gone in 5 years. Expect all paid parking, expensive showers, and fast food in a couple years. Im sure all of the museum stuff will be sold off over time. Better check the place out or revisit before its too late. Got emotional walking through the museum today knowing it was destined to be removed."

"This is one of my favorite travel centers! Amazing classic car museum with old memorabilia! Great oldies diner, fast & friendly staff! The food was amazing, delicious large portions for the price! Also lots of exceptional merchandise, plus a large amount of food & snacks!"
