Sheriff John's Classic Car and Doll Museum

Outstanding classic car collection, and a doll collection that's just got to be seen to be appreciated. Fascinating place and really nice people who operate it. It all made a memorable visit. Most museums are just rows of cars in a building...this place has fascinating collections of memorabilia from the specific year each car was built, in and surrounding all the cars, not to mention the glass room with all the dolls..it's a place you wind up spending quite a few hours enjoying.

September 2008: Sheriff John's wife passed away (she was in charge of the dolls) and the whole Museum is now for sale. Still open, but maybe not for long....
