a must see for the early car enthusiast, (all cars were pre 1950) great representation of the early years of automotive history, and some very historical cars as well, small museum, reading every plaque and looking over each car should take about an hour or so, and worth every minute

Fun to see the old cars from the beginning of automotive history. Nice gift shop and wonderful homemade fudge to buy.

Tour is included in Luray caverns admission price. There are old carraiges, coaches, old cars, old license, plates, engines, license plates, mannequins. A nice selection of vehicles. would highly recommend touring it while you are there to see the caverns. At the end of the tour, you exit through their gift shop. We enjoyed it very much

After we visited Luray Caverns, we discussed if we wanted to see the nearby Car and Carriage Caravan Museum. My brother said that we still had time to take a look at the museum. It was surprising that the museum displayed quite a number of early age carriages and cars. They are all Antiques & Vintage Collectibles. I have never... More

From the really early Benz to the Cord, to the Brass radiator Model T's, this is a fun place. Especially liked the rarity of the cars. Not like you see at most old car museums.

I liked the variety of years represented, and the 2 engines sitting out on display. I wish there had been more cars and carriages, and fewer or no mannequins.

We visited the car and carriage caravan museum after Luray Caverns (admission price included). We had some extra time so decided to explore. It was worth the time. From horse drawn carriages to classic automobiles presented with interesting facts and tidbits, this was an enjoyable self guided tour all around.

Lots of great cars and vehicles to ogle. Amazing collection of vintage cars and other modes of transport including a Conestoga Wagon. Worth a visit.

Car buffs will love this great museum. I was told that, in the early 1950's, the owner of the caverns put out the word that he wanted to start a car museum and he was inundated with so many offers that he was able to pick and choose the best of the best. Children seem to run through it pretty... More
