This is hands down the best travel museum I have ever been to. One of a kind exhibits and well presented. Try to be there when they fly the old WW1 planes. If you have any interest at all in vintage transportation you WLL like this place. More

We live in the area so are members of, and frequent visitors to this museum, but this was also true before we moved to Maine. OHTM is a small, but well-stocked museum of all things that move us from place to place. From steam engines and automobiles to vintage planes, this family-friendly place has plenty to see; there are even... More

and an adult's appreciation for how our transportation technology revolutionized itself, and our society, through inventive and beautiful discovery. Really, a Smithsonian in the woods, with an airport for special events all worth attending, and great lectures, too, even if the sun is shining. More

Visited during the off season, honestly to have something to do during the day, and I was impressed. The museum was much larger and had many more exhibits than I thought was there. MGs and Microcars were on display along with the usual displays. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area More

Over the past 15 years, we have been going to the Rockland area two times per year. We have taken the kids to the museum several times, at every stage of their childhood. The special displays are wonderful, and they have holiday and vacation kids programs. I recommend it highly to parents, as well as car and plane enthusists. More
