This is a super special place and experience and one that I think should be talked about more and here’s why. The museum is full of what used to be a private collection from someone that loved their cars SO much, they made sure this museum would be possible and live on beyond their passing.

The museum shop had a nice selection of shirts, hats, etc. The day we were there noted author and car collector Tom Cotter was giving a presentation and displayed his Cunningham automobile. All in all one of the best car museums on...
