Awesome
This is one of the coolest auto museums I've ever seen. Each car is unique and impeccably showcased with a very detailed description. They also set the stage with period clothing to help bring you back to the relevant era. The staff was very kind and helpful; eager to answer any questions we had. Not only for car enthusiasts; would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates beautiful cars.

"One of the best in the USA"
This is one of the most impressive auto museums I have been to, and I have been to numerous auto museums across the U.S. Our guided tour with Mr. Vinton lasted over two and a half hours and was an over the top experience. His complete knowledge of all the cars/items in the museum was impressive. I have recommended this museum to many people already and would recommend it to anyone. We came all the way from Florida and this is a must see when in Alaska.
