These coordinates are for the Museum Club in Flagstaff, AZ.

In 1931, hunter and collector Dean Eldredge began construction on a museum to house an amazing assortment of wild animals he had preserved through taxidermy. Converted to a nightclub in 1936, the club's wildest exhibits were then the people who came to dance the night away in what has been called the world's largest log cabin. Today, party animals head to the Museum (affectionately dubbed The Zoo) for drinks, live music, and unusually up-tempo atmosphere. The after-hours extravaganza on weekends is a night owl's favorite perch.

Stories are told of some of the greats of country music stopping here on their way to California and playing. What an amazing place this must have been at the time.

The Museum club is on the National Historic Register
