My husband & I enjoyed an hour-long tour of this large antique/collector car museum. He recalled many cars from his past while strolling through the showroom. I liked the century-old cars.

This is a small museum that really does a great job of covering Kokomo, and Howard countie's history. We spent four hours, and read all of the exhibits. Very nice visit.

Be there on a Sunday afternoon and ALONE inside. What a shame! For the 4$ fee you see a lot of old cars in excelent condition. Spent 2h and sooth a lot of pics. No waste of Money, if you like old cars!

I learned a lot going through this place. They need better signs on the outskirts so more can find this place. It also has the history of the area and will keep you there for longer than you may think. I enjoyed my time there. Cheap ticket and full of value!

Situated in a large, open, indoor space, a great collection of vintage automobiles awaits your inspection. Beginning with the Haynes car dating to 1894, you are introduced briefy to Elwood Haynes, local inventor and pioneer in the manufacture of automobiles. But a variety of makes and models, all very shiny, show the evolution of the car. There is no introductory video, tour guide, or published guide to the display. At your own leisure you wind your way around the cars. If later, you visit the Elwood Haynes mansion (free) on the opposite side of Kokomo, a docent tells a more complete story of Elwood Haynes. His first car, the Pioneer, is housed in the Smithsonian Institution.

When I arrived, I got some more information about the museum and Elwood Haynes. Very nice collection, especially from begin 1900 up to 1960's.

What a great collection of cars spanning the last 100+ years. If your in Kokomo you really don't want to miss this.

From the moment, you reach the front door you feel connected with the history of the automotive heritage in the City of Firsts. It has a wide history and decades of automotives with details. Also, as you leave don't forget to visit the gift shop after the great experience!!!

This museum focuses on cars that are connected to the history of Kokomo although there are cars other than Chryslers. They have a number of exhibits other than cars for the members of the families other than cars. The museum isn't too big-about 100 cars-and they provide a number of benches and chairs where you can stop, rest and discuss what you are seeing. We were there on a day when the college was not in session-the museum is in the same building as Ivy Community College and the Kokomo Exhibit Center so there was plenty of parking. It might be different on other days. The fee was reasonable and they offer a small discount for seniors.
