This was a fascinating museum. A little of almost everything transportation wise going back to 1800s. Displays were top notch...some original, some were reproductions, but they were all great. Lots...

Our visit was over an early spring weekend when several exhibits were closed for maintenance and others, particularly the aircraft, were crowded together inside. In spite pf this we spent a great couple of hours looking at the great classic cars and motorcycles, steam engines and models of the mills they powered, and the aircraft, all preserved in working condition. This is a great place for the whole family with friendly and helpful staff, great gift shop, snack bar, and ample rest rooms. Plan on spending a couple of hours in winter or all day in the summer or during special events. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Great transportation museum with some unusual items in their collection. Plenty of parking, reasonable fees and a nice gift shop as well. Great place on a rainy day or anytime you want to wander around and learn something new. Looks like a great place to host an event as well. Stop in should you be in the area, it’s fun!
