Much More Than Just Cars
Visited this museum with a friend, who really enjoys historic automobiles. However, after we walked into the actual museum, I was surprised and impressed by just how much more stuff they had available. Yes, there are numerous old cars and other automotive memorabilia on display, but they also have a great deal of other interesting artifacts as well. Too many different things to list off in this review, but I highly recommend checking out this museum. There’s plenty of things to see in their two large main sections, which took us over two hours to walk through (and we didn’t do a thorough review in each section). Plus, there’s a wide variety of topics and displays to help appeal to visitors of different ages and interests. The admission price is on the high side, but it’s well worth the cost if you take the time to enjoy everything. There’s a lot of vintage things to view, and you’ll potentially be there for a few hours if you want to see it all.

Book a tour with Tony Farrell Sr
My cousins and I just made a return visit to Historic Auto Attractions in Roscoe, IL to see the latest exhibits since visiting in 2015. Book a tour with your own private guide Tony Farrell Sr and you will get the opportunity to learn the secrets of the museums exhibits. They have expanded their exhibits and updated the ones you've loved seeing before if you've been there. Hurry because the museum closes for the season Labor Day Sept 4th weekend. Great place for park district tours, school field trips and families looking for something different in the area.
