This week, I’ve got three automotive museums to share with you that are all incredibly different from each other. So much so that it would be impossible to fairly compare them with each other. Which means you’d need to evaluate them individually, yourself.

I’ve been to a lot of automotive museums in the USA, but I have not visited anywhere near the majority of them. I would say I have personally only visited about a quarter of the museums in the USA. 

It is literally impossible for me to rank any of them. There are museums that impressed me more than others. There are museums that had vehicles on display that I was more interested in than others, and there are museums where the human element made my visit more enjoyable than others.

My personal experience, based on my particular interest and interaction with museum personnel, is unique to me. My intention is not to tell you which museums are more worth your time. My goal is to introduce you to as many automotive museums as possible so you can experience them yourself. 

Kernersville Auto Museum is a relatively new museum. Jim Taylor, the founder, built the 11,000 square foot building, specifically to create the museum which is free to visit. I even had a hand in building the museum’s website and connected it to the Automotive Museum Guide from day one, which has helped visitors find the museum.

The Beller Museum is another museum you can visit for free (with an appointment) although donations are welcome. This museum was created in 1993 by Jordon and Corinne Beller. The museum’s focus is to showcase products of Detroit’s heyday. You’ll see vehicles and equipment from the ’20s to the ’60s. 

The Audrain Automobile Museum is high on my list of museums I’d like to visit. This museum was founded in 2014 and has a collection of over 400 vehicles it can share in the museum. One of their big exhibits right now is Super to Hypercars: Then & Now.

My intention is not to tell you everything possible about each museum. I want you to be intrigued enough to click on the link to learn more about each museum. You can click the hyperlinked name of the museum, or scroll right to the bottom where each museum is listed underneath the state where the museum resides.

When you visit the museum’s page on the Automotive Museum Guide, you’ll learn a little bit more about the museum, including where it is, contact information and how much it costs to visit. It’s still always a good idea to then go directly to the museum’s website, where, hopefully, you can learn even more about the museum.

No museums pay me for any of this. My hope is that while more people are able to discover and visit automotive museums all over the world, they are also introduced to the museum I founded, Miles Through Time Automotive Museum. 

If you’re interested in visiting one automotive museum, the odds are you’d want to visit others. You just need to know about them, and that’s where the Automotive Museum Guide comes in very useful.

I know Google Ads are annoying, and I wish I could justify removing them entirely, but without actual sponsors, Google Ads at least cover the cost to host the website for everyone to use. I did recently remove the pop-up ads, to make the website more user-friendly. I hope it helps.
