To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement! shocked would be a better description! Out of the way and in Fairbanks, Alaska is probably one of the most comprehensive collection of vintage cars… I've ever seen! All but 3 out of the hundred+ vehicles run which I think is a hellava accomplishment in itself! In with the impressive collection are fashions of the day, men's and women's and children period apparel along with vintage Alaskan clothing and furs! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and are happy to answer questions! A great experience and well worth the time!

The auto museum was amazing…. They also had antique women’s dresses/couture beautifully displayed with the cars. An auto museum really worth visiting…
My wife really loved this auto museum, too. Our only regret was not allowing ourselves enough time at the facility.
It’s a “Do Not Miss” destination in Fairbanks AK.

What an unexpected gem! We had the afternoon open and decided to stop in without knowing what to expect. There were so many restored vintage vehicles under one roof organized by periods. Plus, ladies vintage clothing, videos, and posters corresponding to each era. There were knowledgeable staff that helped as we walked through the museum. Definitely worth a visit!

Incredible insights into American history told through the legacy of artisan automobiles. Truly a mesmerizing experience. Much more than I expected. The cars all look brand new thanks to the loving care of the museum staff mechanics and body shop, effectively transporting you back to a time of innovation and design in the USA you’ve likely never seen through this lens before.

Well maintained and very well loved antique cars. They meticulously maintain the vehicles on site and the maintenance garage has large viewing windows where you can view them working on the cars. There is also… a unique display throughout the museum of antique women's clothing. All but 3 of the museums collection of cars run and drive which is impressive as the oldest running vehicle is from the late 1800s. great place to spend an afternoon. Price for admission is very reasonable.

This was a really cool place to visit. The staff was awesome and kind of wanders around and will pop little nuggets of knowledge about the vehicles in the collection. I wasn’t expecting much, because I’m not much of a car person, but I was pleasantly surprised and was kind of cool to see the history as the automobile developed. Def recommend here.
