“Fantastic car museum!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012 NEW

This is one of the countries best car museum. This is a premier collection of vehicles from 1898-1936. The collection of women's period clothing is matched with the era of vehicles. Great early collection of Alaskan videos and photographs. This a must see if you are traveling thru the Fairbanks area. For a great deal ask for the combo admission... More

“CARS CARS CARS many many BEAUTIFUL OLD CARS”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2012

This has to be one of the best exibits to go see in the Fairbanks area. Millions of dollars invested to bring these relics of the past back into pristine condition. This exibit is on parr with Harrah's old Casino Collection in Nevada. Go see it by all means, it's real special. More

“Auto Museum”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2011

This was the nicest place on the property., The outside of the building was great with the different vehicles on display. The inside was worth the $7pp. There were many cars, trucks, bicycles, and clothes. I took many pictures of the different cars and the different clothes. I would recommend this museum even if you aren't a car buff. So... More
