    Excellent collection of vintage automobiles. Some absolutely beautiful machines (more like works of art!) from the early Chryslers and many other manufacturers. Takes you back in time with all the period automobilia and artefacts as well.

    A great place to visit. In addition to the indoor car museum, they have several outdoor events a year. I went to the Corvette show. Check their website for upcoming events. Outdoor events usually have live music and food trucks as well as the indoor as soda fountain. Worth a visit.
