The way the whole experience was woven together so thoughtfully - each room and space held so much nostalgia. I did not want to leave. So many artifacts and memories from the past. I definitely want to bring my wife and family back next time I am in the area.

We absolutely loved this museum! Such care and time was put into these displays! There is so much to see that we had to go through it twice. It was really fun seeing the old barber shop and beauty salon and my husband enjoyed seeing the old garage tools and cars. It was really a charming place. The neon signs and the gas pumps were awesome. Go!

This place is great! Mostly transportation related with loads of signs, neon, and old pumps but there is a great variety for all to enjoy. Great antique/relic store attached. Don't miss this gem. Recommended!!!

We almost passed this Amazing must stop !! If you are Anywhere on the 90 east or west between Deadwood and Buffalo . STOP . The cars are amazing . The individual room are immaculate and tell a story . It brings you back in time from original commercials from the 60s to pristine Hudson’s . Amazing collection . And even more amazing is that it’s a family story . If you are lucky enough to have the daughter ( can’t remember her name ) She was awesome and passionate about her family business . Amazing story . Stop for sure !

This place is must stop!! It is soooo cool my husband and I absolutely loved it!! And they even allow dogs to come in. You could spend hours in here, so worth the small price of admission.

Seeing all the things from history of the past was amazing and without places like this people would not get chances to see things like this. I would go there again any time and I would highly recommend going and seeing it. (10 yr old)

This is literally one of the best museums I have had the pleasure of experiencing. The first thing you need to know is the staff here is truly amazing. My dad and I arrived at this museum 5 min. before they were about to close and they were kind enough to allow us to walk through their museum as they were cleaning, which shocked us both! Furthermore, both of us wanted coffee and would you believe it? They serve coffee! Even better, the kind lady who allowed us in the museum was kind enough to make us coffee even after she had just finished washing her coffee-making materials, but it gets better! She even offered to bring the coffee to us while we were walking around the museum. Now on to the museum itself--it is one of the best museums you will ever experience! The sheer amount atmosphere and attention to detail was sublime. Everything down to the selection of vehicles to choices of perfectly restored gas pumps; it was all breath-taking! Even the music was perfect. tl;dr--GET IN HERE!

This is an example of one of the great collections in the West. Many very rare items that can not be seen anywhere else. The autos and porcelain signs are awesome.

We visited this museum on my husband's birthday because he is a car guy. This place isn't huge, but it has a lot to offer anyone interested in Americana, history and/or automobiles. The lady working that day was very pleasant and knowledgeable and she gave us some great ideas for other things to do and visit in the area.
