Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles reviews
16A wonderful experience. A great visit and atmosphere whether it's with co workers, family or friends.
This Museum was great. Loved it. Small but such a great collection. I like small car museums because it makes the experience better.
We love history and seeing how others have lived before us. It was interesting to see there were electric cars long ago, that just must not have caught on like they have more recently. Friendly staff and a great representation of vintage vehicles.
What a great experience! We visited on 10/21/23 and were really impressed with the selection of PA cars, the staff, and the cool diner inside. The staff is friendly and full of info and knowledge. We have visited other car museums, but it was neat to see the care and attention that was taken to ensure the majority of cars were from PA. As visitors from another state, this was a real treat. Highly recommend!
Cool place. Great history. If you like old cats, this a nice museum. Blacksmith hammering away was nice upstairs!
Great collection of historic vehicles, nicely represented. Beautiful and educational, highly recommended!
Great little Museum. If you are into automotive This place is for you. It is a fun place to visit and I believe the whole family would love looking at the cars.
I was so impressed by the entire experience of seeing the history of so many cars. Thank you Thane
This is a hidden jewel in this area. The cars and trucks are beautiful examples of early automotive technology and art. It is well worth the $10 admission fee.
My visit was an impromptu day trip from New Jersey, while visiting family. The museum is definitely worth a trip.
I'm a sucker for old cars. "Historic vehicles" reflects the fact that the pursuit of fins and rumble seats leaves a lot of important history untold. Boyertown has it, and very well done & displayed.
It stands to reason that early carriages and sleighs would have history in Pennsylvania, what with being an original colony and having winter weather. Who knew so much of the automotive industry grew up here, too? Not me.
The cars, trucks, buses are extremely impressive. The info cards provide great information. Push button transmission 50+ years before Chrysler - check. Background dirt on the Duryea brothers - check. The carriage shop upstairs is not to be missed.
For all this museum has to offer, the admission fee is embarrassingly low! Donate some extra so they can produce a book about the impressive contents of this museum.
A pleasant surprise and Interesting experience. A museum filled with an eclectic variety of vintage cars and trucks. Many regionally manufactured. Informative and staffed with knowledge volunteers.
Took a drive here specifically to see the Back to the future exhibit which was excellent and worth the long drive alone. I've never been into antique cars but really loved the entire museum. They had some really awesome displays and 2 hours later we were still walking around! Really great place!
Went here for the Back to the Future exhibit but found many other things to see here. Many antique cars, horse buggies and sleighs. Plus and old diner and gas station. Stop by yourself.
Very good. Was a great spot for a day trip. Great old cars and trucks. Plenty of history. There is a big car show this summer. 500 cars.
This museum has several unique features and also has many exhibits worthy of close attention. First, it has the 1872 era shop where buggies and wagons were hand crafted. The leather belts, driven by a “ hit and miss “ engine, represents a bygone era and a crucial link to American manufacturing prowess. If only for this, a visit is required. Secondly, the collection of electric vehicles is vast and easily accessible. Most are trucks but there is also an electric car, showing that the electric vehicle technology is over a century old. Interesting displays of an old diner and gas station as well. Every exhibit and vehicle is well documented and shown. The American Bantam designed “Jeep” is a surviving example of the prototype that they developed and which was then manufactured in great quantities by Ford and Willys, as the small Butler, PA company was unable to scale up enough for wartime needs. The location is out of the way but well worth the trip and should interest young and old.
