Strange, but awesome attraction available on the island. When we arrived, there was one other couple in the building, and our party of four. No one else came in the 90+ minutes we were there. It is very quiet and seemingly desolate, but very cool! I am not much of a car person, but the other members of my party truly enjoyed reading all of the provided information on the dozens and dozens of cars on display! Very interesting, very educational, very neat stop! Definitely recommend if you have any car enthusiasts or history enthusiasts in your party.

Middle of nowhere hidden GEM!Hard to believe one person used to own all these incredible cars. About 60 on display. Second time we have been here. Fabulous collection of original and restored autos, with a few motorcycles and horsedrawn vehicles thrown in as well. Cool t-shirts and gift shop. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Well worth the short drive from Bar Harbor to the "quiet side" of MDI. Youll be glad you visited! GREAT little museum!

Amazing collection of pre-1920 automobiles, as well as a handful of bicycles and motorcycles from the same era. There are informational placards for almost every vehicle. The wood-bodied Peugot was my favorite exhibit although I loved seeing some of the old coaches with 3-4 rows of bench seats as well. All in all a definite must see for anyone traveling through the area. Admission is cheap too, only $6!

A lot bigger than it looks from the outside. Good way to kill an hour. Cheap admission. Friendly staff. Lego and coloring table for kids who loose interest in the old cars. Beautiful old cars. By the way, Seal Cove Road from Southwest Harbor is mostly gravel. You might want to take the long way around.

One more excellent hidden New-England treasure with the huge collection of autos, bicycles and motorcycles from the beginning of Brass Era. The non-profit museum has been established by a passionate cat collector Richard Paine who spent a lifetime creating this beautiful collection.

The first thing in the door we were welcomed by a wonderful lady. She gave a quick verbal overview of the museum and welcomed us. The collection is very nice. The gift shop had very reasonably priced items. I would recommend this as part of your Acadia visit.

Really nicely laid out museum with a sizable collection of vintage brass cars. It was a rainy day when we visited and parking was a bit of a problem as everyone else seemed to have the same idea. Well worth the admission price.

YOu will not believe this place! If you dont walk around humming "Chitty Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" I give up entirely. Worth many a visit. Try to make it on "Electric Car Day" for a ride in the 1915 electric buggy!

This is a really cool place to when you want to do something different. Very nice and knowledgeable staff. My 4-year old daughter loved it here. It was a great place to spend a rainy afternoon and well worth going to.
