Mendenhall's Museum of Gasoline Pumps & Petroliana, Buellton CA

We visited here on a very hot day in July. Vickie was our wonderful guide for the day. We arranged our visit over text with Mark who was very quick to fit us in. I took two teenage boys along with the husband who all throughly enjoyed looking at all the cars, hundreds of gasoline pumps, with many from days gone by, along with a lot of petroliana. Even though we are British we could admire the massive collection including the history of the racing family. Such a unique visit and worth arranging a visit if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed.

A must-visit to anyone in or around Buellton! What an impressive collection - you could easily spend a couple hours here. The staff are lovely. Would definitely recommend visiting close to sunset if you can - it makes the whole place even more magical.

Huge collection of memorabilia related to gas pumps, metal and neon signs, racing cars. It's admission by appointment only.

Very cool places! You can go a hundred times and still notice fun new things!

Wow, wow, wow this museum is awesome! There are so many classic signs and gas pumps to look at as well as other automotive paraphernalia. There are no walk-ins, you must schedule a tour and the tour will last 1.5 hours. I thought 1.5 hours sounded very long but the time absolutely flew by. There is so much to see you can't really take it all in. I will be back again with my friends some time in the near future. Thank you for such a wonderful tour.

Looks like an appointment is needed for a tour, so wasn't able to see it this time.
