Its like watching "American Graffiti" with snowplows...I found myself often wondering why our modern vehicles couldnt have the classic styling of some of the cars that are on display. Patriotism runs deep at the Cole Land Transportation Museum, its founder having been a veteran of WWII. I found it somewhat amusing that his wifes Mercedes was on display...a testament to how much that vehicle likely cost him! ;-) A wonderful and enchanting experience that smelled an awful lot like a bunch of tires...

This is a really great museum. They have so many different things related to transportation in here to see. It was very quiet the day we went so we had the entire place to ourselves. The ederly couple at the admission booth were so sweet and kind to us, you could tell they adored children. Being a gear head I could spend the better part of a day at this place. Next time Im in the area I will be back to visit for sure!!

My Girls and I Loved this place. Its Awesome, Cheap, and Provides so much more than just history. Theres much to be seen under Mr. Coles Roof. He has such an awesome collection of toys. The Coolest part is a Real Train the kids can climb on and imagine being a conductor. That was my favorite part of the Cole Museum Experience.

Its packed with vehicles and contraptions of all descriptions. Its great that theyve saved all this stuff. We didnt have a lot of time, so give yourself some time to listen to all the audio stuff and read about everything. Its definitely a great place to take school children to learn about history.

A great stop right off the Interstate, it provides a nice place to walk and stretch. The memorials are well kept and interesting to walk around. Inside the Cole Museum, there is a wealth of historical vehicles and equipment. It is worth an hour to stop and explore.

This is an Awesome well put together museum. We went in July and was very impressed with the selection of items on display. I would rate this museum as one of the best that I have seen.

I learned that the rock and roll bands Buffalo Springfield and REO Speedway were both named after construction equipment. Absolutely love this place.

Just the vehicles and signs etc. The people giving the tour, were mean and not to into what they were showing.. Find a new Job!

Quite a diversity of transportation. My Guy found 2 cars from his past-63 VW Beetle and 1960 Ford Fairlane.
