Mid America Motorworks, My Garage Museum, Illinois, United States
4.5 (68 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Effingham Speciality Museums
What a cool place!
If you're into cars and specifically Corvettes (or VW's) this is a fun place to visit. There is an excellent collection of Corvettes and a good exhibit of old air-cooled military vehicles (sorry, no more info on this part). Great gift shop with tons of shirts, hats, and other souvenirs - perfect gifts for the Corvette lover! Definitely worth a stop!

Awesome collection of Corvettes!
Mike Yager's personal collection of unique and rare Corvettes is superb! Even if you are only a casual fan of the American love affair with the automobile, you will be impressed and awed with the significance of the particular Corvettes in Mike's "My Garage" Museum. And the admission is FREE! This display rotates on a regular basis, so one can usually see 2 or 3 "new" cars. Easy to find on Route 45 just a mile or so north of Effingham IL. Interstates 70 & 57 take you almost right to the front door. There is an actual old time gas station which was relocated to the grounds and makes for a fantastic photo opportunity. There is also a "Speedway" locale which serves the same purpose. Many Corvette memorabilia, clothes & books are available (many at discounted prices because.........Mike is just a really nice guy!)
