Oatman Attractions
The old gold mining town of Oatman is located southwest of Kingman. It was named for the Oatman family, victims of an 1851 Apache attack. The town was a popular stop on Route 66 until the road was diverted to the south in 1952.
Oatman Hotel
The Oatman Hotel was built in the 1920s and now houses a museum on the history of Oatman's boom times. The hotel housed many miners, movie stars, and politicians during its heyday! Clark Gable and Carol Lombard honeymooned at the Oatman Hotel in 1939. Their honeymoon suite is still one of the major attractions.
