If you're into Brass Era cars, petroliana, and even bootlegging and gang history, this is a must-see! The guide told me the shop is largely the same as they found it after it had been operational from the early teens into the late 1990s. Belts, plugs, and even brass fire extinguishers are still hanging on the wall! This is one of the most original garage spaces I've seen yet, with some rare signage and mechanic's tools of the period. It's definitely worth a stop if you're into anything automotive.

Very interesting little place. Lots of local history for a small town. Popular hangout for George, when he visited his sister, Louise. The lady inside was very friendly and told us about the garage and other facts about the area.

Very small but very cool little museum. Just a few cars but some very interesting stories. Also have some really neat old shop equipment including a belt driven large and mill. The lady working was very friendly and helpful as well. Definitely a place for a quick stop.

Very helpful staff, and well maintained examples of early 1900s vehicles. Also has lots of information about Briger, a local prohibition criminal.
