Gearhead Curios - Galena, Kansas Gearhead Curios occupies a 1939 Texaco gas station on Historic Route 66 in Galena, Kansas. They offer Route 66 curios, artwork, cold drinks and welcome travelers on the Mother Road to stop and share their stories. Aaron and Kelly Perry began restoration of the old service station in 2018 and new things have been done every time we have visited. The work has been creative and includes an American flag made from antique Kansas license plates and an awning above the gas pump island made from car hoods. One of their newest additions is a functioning rest room which has become a popular place for photo opportunities. Aaron was a fireman in Topeka, Kansas when the Perrys purchased the gas station, but has since retired and they have moved nearby to Columbus, Kansas. Improvements have accelerated now that they live nearby.
