A small museum, but a great selection of turn of the century automobiles. It's in an old carriage house, so if you are into architecture, you'll appreciate it. There are some early Japanese model cars there. This place is small, but the entry fee is modest, and they offer a military discount.

Evening speaker events are interesting and fun. Lawn events during the summer are excellent!

Not really a museum. Combination of original owner's 1900 - 1920s unrestored cars, plus a display of 1980s Japanese.
