It is pretty awesome when people visit Miles Through Time Automotive Museum from all over the country, specifically because they found the Automotive Museum Guide and started receiving these emails.
I hate it when I miss the museum visitors, but when I do get to meet them, it’s amazing. A couple stayed for over four hours on Saturday, and they use the guide regularly to visit museums all over the country.
I hope this is a common occurrence for all the museums listed in the guide. If you visit a museum because you discovered it in the Automotive Museum Guide or I mentioned it in an email, let the museum know when you visit.
This week’s email is going to be brief. I understand some people are bombarded with emails and even this one each week can end up being a bit much. If you miss the email for any reason, remember you can always go to the website under the EXTRAS tab and click Weekly 3.
You never have to miss the three museums I share, even if you don’t have time to deal with the entire email. You can quickly scroll to the museums, get the information you need and move on. Plus, you can always refer back if you want.
First up this week is the Museum of Automobiles. The museum was founded by Winthrop Rockefeller in 1964. The museum housed his collection until 1975, two years after his death when Bill Harras purchased the collection for $947,000.
A new nonprofit was formed in 1976 with vehicles on loan from collectors and the museum has been in operation ever since.
The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum is one you wouldn’t expect to find. This museum recently auctioned off 105 of their vehicles, which raised $14.5 million. We’ll have to wait and see what the museum does next.
If you just looked at the Audrain Automobile Museum, you’d assume they’ve been around for a while, but the museum only opened in 2014. The museum has access to over 400 cars and motorcycles and changes the exhibits often.
Have a great week!

The Museum of Automobiles was founded by Winthrop Rockefeller in 1964 before he became Governor of Arkansas. The museum housed Rockefeller’s collection of antique and classic cars until his death in 1973, and in 1975
The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum preserves and pays homage to these classic fixtures of international automotive innovation and also provides inspiration and a sense of history to students who attend the Academy of Art University.
Established in 2014, the Museum transformed the historic Audrain Building into a captivating display floor fit specifically for their cultural needs.

The Weekly 3When I was in school, history class was one of my least favorite classes. I don't believe it was because I didn't have any interest in history, considering how involved my life is with history these days. The main memory that sticks out for me about...

I'm heading to the National Association of Motor Museums' Annual Conference on Tuesday.
It still amazes me that the Automotive Museum Guide has grown into a huge resource for automotive museums, and visitors who want to visit them.
I'll start this week by letting you know about a brand-new museum that just opened this month. The St. Charles Motorcycle Museum is now open.
I still remember it like yesterday. It was the end of 2016, and I was forced to decide whether to start the museum
I love discovering new automotive museums. Sometimes, it is a museum that has been around, but it took me a while to find it.
One of the most common, generic questions I get asked in the museum is, how much are these cars worth?
The results are in, and Miles Through Time Automotive Museum is a major contender, at least for museums people want to visit.
