Sandhill Curiosity Shop - Erick, Oklahoma

Nestled discreetly off the beaten path, Harley's Sign Museum is a hidden gem that beckons aficionados of Americana and vintage memorabilia alike. As you step through the unassuming entrance, you're transported back in time to an era when signs weren't just advertisements but cultural artifacts.

The museum's charm lies in its eclectic collection of signs, each telling a unique story. From weathered Coca-Cola ads to neon motel marquees, every piece resonates with a bygone era's craftsmanship and allure. Among these treasures stands a particularly notable artifact—the first Route 66 sign ever posted in Oklahoma. Its weathered edges and faded colors evoke the spirit of a highway that once symbolized American adventure and freedom.

Harley's demeanor may not be for the faint-hearted; Harley's blunt honesty and occasional grumble WILL catch you off guard. Keep the conversation with him short, take photos, and hit the road. Harley will let you know if you've overstayed.

Highly recommend a visit if passing. Harley made me very welcome, he even recorded a message for my little Grandson from the "Redneck capital of the World"!
I had a private audience with H while he played me his guitar.. a real character to meet . Cheers H, btw my Grandson loved your voice message H ...Dave UK

PS also pop into the 100th meridian museum up the road especially if you enjoy Roger Miller .

A great place to visit and see some great memorabilia and hear some stories. This man has lived an amazing life. If you ever have time to stop stop by and sit a while. If your a prude you probably won't want to, but if you're laid back and understand life you'll fit right in. Come sit a spell!

What an interesting place. Nostalgic signs from long ago. Route 66 memorabilia, pictures, ash trays still filled with old cigarettes, and guitars everywhere. This place is one of a kind, unique, and a must visit at least once in your lifetime. I would love to hear some of the stories if those walls could talk. Harley is the owner and a very interesting man. Harley took the picture of us with the very first Route 66 sign in Oklahoma. Do yourself a favor and stop by this place.

So even though I didn’t get to go in, I wanted to share my awesome story about Harley. I knew it was a long shot being off-season & pandemic. On the way out, I hit a snowstorm, but still stopped for a pic, & on way home I thought I’d try again. After waiting around I thought I’d call the number listed to see if they were opening. No answer, BUT Harley called me back. He apologized for not opening till later & I was just floored that he was nice enough to call back! He chatted with me a while, learning about my trip down Route 66, and told me to stay safe. Even though I didn’t get to meet the “legend of Route66” in person, I can’t tell you how sweet it was of him to take time to chat. It was so thoughtful. And I’m surely making sure I won’t miss him next trip!

The most amazing stop you can do on the iconic Route 66! Harley is the best and a true icon! Make sure you tip him well, he is one of the last left keeping this legend alive! Thus little “shop” is the most interesting place you’ll see in your life, and the experience will blow you away. And who knows, you might be surprised... go there, it’s amazing!

So worth the visit!! Harley is such a character you simply have to meet! He had great stories and is an Excellent musician if you let him play for you.

Just whatever you do, take cash! It's all on an optional donation basis - but with his excellent display of antiques and his time, you'll feel it worthy to leave a donation I'm sure.

This place had so much RT 66 memorabilia. Harley collected all this stuff with his late wife. He is a joy to talk with he will even take your picture with an old RT 66 sogn.
