I want to give a special thanks to this gentleman and his family. I remember them as very learned people with a great background in specialized antiques. I am extremely grateful for such a wonderful review by people who enjoy and understand the history of a vast number of antiques and collectibles. We have expanded our collection, and anyone who has been through our museum will be amazed in the changes that have recently been made. We are now giving free admission for the balance of this year and all of 2015 on your first visit for a total cost of $12.00 per person. Our other attractions are nearby for those who have the time to take them in. Thank you for your well chosen words that will certainly encourage others to enjoy a similar experience at our Art In Motion -Courtyard Property.
We are grateful to each and everyone who takes the time to write a review about our offering at Courtyard Properties Museums and especially to those who assign us a five star rating. Sarah said the magic words when she suggested that she may come back for another viewing. She is correct in indicating that everything that we have to show and tell cannot be done with one visit, but we try. One paid visit to our museum makes you a member and gives you return privileges up to the end of the current year. We look forward to seeing Sarah and all others who enjoyed a previous visit.Actually, we have many first time visitors who start a chain of events. Their friends and neighbors just keep coming to see what makes the trip so special.Thank you very much for your input.Preston
I appreciate the comment from any visitor who takes time to view our properties, and I regret that I was not available to show these gentlemen through on the day they visited. I am always concerned that someone will come on a day that we are not fully staffed. This was one of those days that we had a part-time substitute- employee , who was not familiar with our museums.I would like to earn 5 stars each and every time, but sometimes things just don't work as we hope. We strive to please our patrons.Thank you.Preston I hope to see you on your next visit.
Go Visit !! These are the exact words that I would give to anyone who likes antiques, collectibles and history.The museums are filled to the brim with a broad assortment of items that are very interesting to those who care to learn about the past. Our Wax museum is a part of Courtyard properties and is very interesting and is among one of the best such museums in the country. The most controversial figure is the one only wax sculpture depiction Einstein in a perfect likeness. It is signed on the nape of the neck with his name with a statement of thanks to K.Sturgberg by A. Einstein.Please read our descriptions to glean more information about our complete list of properties.Thank you for your input.Preston
As always, I am very pleased when a family group enjoys our broad selection of antiques and collectibles. Just as much so, I am happy that we can share some stories and history with visitors all ages. Even better, is when the visitors share their knowledge with us. Our objective is to please any and all visitors, and we enjoying seeing a positive response.Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Be sure to let us know that you have your annual pass when you come again.Preston
We strive to please as many visitors as possible with our broad selection of antiques and collectibles. This is our first mediocre rating over a three year period. I agree with the stated comments from this visitor. The collection is not the typical museum where things cannot be touched or provide a chance for interaction with the viewer. Also, it is owned by one individual who has collected out of the ordinary items and a very rare variety of items that are seen only once in a lifetime. Also, there is a "special" odor that comes with items that have been treated carefully in some cases to keep the 100 years old patina that is so desirable with original pieces including the motorcycles. Thank you,Preston Evans
This viewer was delighted to find so many great items and especially motorcycles that can be easily qualified as being in the category of "RARE". Also, as noted, this is not the typical sterile museum. In fact, is our intention to have a collection that you can walk right up to and enjoy what you see up close and personal. Both, he and his wife, were very engaging and obviously enjoyed the Crazy and Exciting collection. Please come back and bring your friends.Thank you.Preston
Our aim is to offer such an attraction that young and old can leave our museums and other areas of Courtyard Properties with a good feeling about what we have to offer. We manage to do this for most every visitor. This is possible because we have a large variety of top of the line hard to find collectibles and other interesting items that are not found anywhere else. Our museums are filled with an extensive magic collection, clocks, jukeboxes, advertising, rare movie posters, coke machines and far too much to name. I am often amazed at the particular item that will capture someone's attention. I am just glad that this visitor liked the bike used in the Terminator 3 movie. It could just as well have been our 1956 Cadillac from the movie, Driving Miss Daisy, or any one of thousands of other interesting finds.
Thank you Logan. I will not forget this young man. My grandson shares his name, Logan.I enjoyed watching this little man as he wandered through the museum with eyes wide open and a big smile. He could hardly believe what he was seeing. He scrutinized lots of different antiques and other rare items as if he wanted to know all there was to know about each piece.Among his comments, I can tell this is not the first museum this interesting 9 year old boy has seen, He was obviously educating himself while he is enjoying and discovering new subjects.I am very pleased that we had the pleasure of meeting Logan and his mother. They just don't come any nicer. If we have the pleasure of having him visit us again, I will be sure to take him to our wax museum just for the pleasure of it. I know we can learn from him, and that includes Steve the Story Teller and Historian.
What an amazing trip through one of the most unique museums you will ever experience! From vintage toys to a one of a kind Tarzan from the early 1900s and the most fantastic collection of Motorcycles, this is a must see! What made it even better was the personal tour by Mr. Preston, the owner of the museum who shared his passion and love for collecting and wonderful stories behind his treasures.
