Thought it was just a simple side attraction to Luray Caverns since it is covered by the same ticket. Was I ever surprised and delighted! Really nice collection, well laid out and in pristine condition, A joy of a find!
The ticket was free with purchase of Luray Caverns ticket. Took about 20 minutes to walk through. Lots of neat old cars and carriages. Worth the trip.
Much better collection that I anticipated. A number of rare and one shot examples of pre WW1 autos. A number of 1,2,3 cynlinder vehicles. The scale and volume of exhibits is extensive and well cared for condition. I have been to "museums " were the vehicle is in ignored static display, the care and maintenance is obvious. Well worth a special trip in lieu of other attractions , do not know if possible with a single admission without the cavern tour. Go for the caverns , stay for the classy wheels .
If your into cars it's the place for you. Many vehicles of old from Ford, Mercedes, Cadillac and others.
I enjoyed walking through looking at all of the old cars with my G-Grandson. He is really into history, so it was amazing that we were able to walk through and was allowed to stay as long as we wanted. I live in Virginia, so we were admitted free of charge. Anyone that comes to our rental will get in free too, all you have to do is show our key with our rental name on it.
It was an amazing experience to see the preserved stagecoaches, buggies, and cars of long ago--those of poor travelers and those of the wealthy. I never knew some stagecoaches had heating mechanisms that housed (I suppose) hot coals at the feet of the driver and also in the passenger area.
Very nice array of old cars. My favorite was the 1908 Baker Electric, a favorite of women during the early days and the Shenandoah Valley Dairy truck. Take advantage of this museum. Admission is free with your Luray Caverns ticket.
I took my 9 yr. old son after we visited the caverns. We enjoyed seeing all of the different makes and models of the vintage cars.
This museum was included FREE when I bought my ticket to the caverns. There is a very large collection restored cars and a few buggies and wagons.
Car aficionados would love walking through this museum. I'm not one, but I still enjoyed seeing how cars evolved and advanced over the years. There seem to be some rare models on display, and you can take your time walking through at your own pace.
