This is truly a hidden gem! I pass it all the time on the way home from work and I've been saying that I was going to go for months and months. Never had the chance to until now plus I didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal.... oh, was I wrong about that!!! This place is AMAZING!!!! If you love cars... you are going to never want to leave! Even if you don't care much for cars, this place is fascinating, wonderful, historic, nostalgic with not only the cars but the gas pumps, the diner chairs, old juke boxes, and so so so much more!! I thought this place was small but it's NOT.. it's a great size with A LOT of beautiful cars there. I loved it and so did my 8 year old son. He wants to go back again and again and again!!!! The people are phenomenal! They are friendly, welcoming, courteous, and they love what they do,.. and they have some really incredible stories to tell. They are the best and so is there museum!! YOU MUST GO HERE!!!! They ask a $10 donation for adults and children get in free. The donations are not a must but if you come by here... give them the donation! It's well worth the money and it helps this place out tremendously. They are the nicest people I have met!!! I'm going back again this week and I can't wait... my son can't either!! We want to see some of the things we didn't get a chance to today!! There is so much to see.... the photos I'm posting doesn't even come close to how much more they have!!! Trust me.. go here! You will not regret it!! It's fun for one.. it's even more fun with the whole family!!!! Too much to say about this place, you've got to see it to believe it! Oh and the NASCAR here? That's Jeff Gordon's!! He raced that car!!! That's right, all the cars here are the real deal!!!

I wanted to leave a review for the Martin auto museum because they treated us so well for my company Christmas party last month. The event coordinator was extremely professional, kind and very helpful. I arrived early to bring items in and not only did he direct me to a parking area where it would be closer to the room where our event was going to be held in, but he also helped me out in a pinch to find a bartender, and even directed me to the closest grocery store, since I had forgot a couple of things. He was extremely attentive and continued checking in with us throughout the night to ensure nothing else was needed. I did not realize they have multiple spaces within the building that are available for rent at low prices compared to others around town. They also allow you to bring in your own alcohol, so that helps out a lot out on additional costs. Check out the Martin auto museum next time you are looking to have a gathering! You will not be disappointed!

This place is amazing! I don't know a lot about cars but I love the history of them and all the info. They all were beautiful. Each car had a stand in front of it displaying info about the vehicle. The price was very reasonable to get in and everyone working there was so nice and you could tell they loved telling anyone who would listen about the cars. The atmosphere was clean and the restrooms were clean as well. There are places to sit and take a break throughout the museum. There is a game room for the kids and all games are free. They also have a carousel to ride. They also have a gift shop. My 15 y/o son loved it (of course lol). My 10 y/o daughter was not excited about going but she ended up loving the experience. It took us about 2 hours to go through but I can imagine it could be longer if you stop to read everything. If you are in the area I highly recommend going. Loved everything about this place!

Wonderfully hidden gem!!!! I am still reeling weeks after this visit! What a special treat this place is. All types of vehicles new, old, and everything in between. My 14yo son loved the newer cars. My 5yo daughter loved the colorful cars. I personally admire the older vehicles. I cant wait to bring the rest of my family here and my dad. He loves old cars. They have a gameroom and all the games are free for kids and fun! The carousel is so cute and such a nice treat for the kids that get antsy. The Jim Jevicky Nascar tribute wall is incredible. What an honor to be there to see it. You can have parties here!! They have a corvette room and a huge Bumblebee statue. The staff is suuuuper friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all the kindest!! Perfect place for people of all every age!

Went here for Father's Day with my dad. It was a perfect way to beat the summer great and learn some history. We had a great time! The museum is well organized and easy to navigate. The carousel and game room keep younger children busy while adults can enjoy the walk through time. I was also amazed that the owners allow you to sit in cars for pictures or just to experience what it was like. The staff is friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. You also have to assume they take good care of their employees since the gentleman who helped me said he'd been working for the owner for 12 years! They also have large event rooms where they can host hundreds of guests! I think it would be so fun to attend a sweet sixteen party here!
