Roadside America Museum — Attraction in Hillsboro

Really disappointed. Drove 2 hours to check this place out. Called ahead of time to make sure they were open and they were closed during open hours when I got there. Edit: It's also a bit sad when the owner implies that I cant read English, didn't call in advance, and don't know how to use a phone.

He has amassed a huge collection of unique pieces that you won't see anywhere else under one roof. Then he takes you to see his "General Store" (a museum inside the museum filled with anything and everything), and after that he shows you all his classic cars!

We had a blast and I can't recommend a stop here highly enough.

(Take some time to drive around Hillsboro and see all the beautiful historic homes while you're there as well.)

• Very important: If the place looks closed, it isn't. Read the sign on the door and call the number. Mr. Estes will answer your call and open the place for...
