Gilmore Car Museum
I will be going to Middleville Michigan to do some family tree research, I see the Gilmore museum is close by, how much time should a guy allow to see it? A few hours? a whole day? Have my mail forwarded? Thanks, Clyde

Re: Gilmore Car Museum
You could easily spend the day.

Re: Gilmore Car Museum
What time of year would you be going? Weekdays or weekend?
You would need a minimum of 4 hours and could spend all day. The grounds only take second place to the cars. Check the website for weekend activities. Last edited by Ross/Kzoo; 03-18-2012 at 01:30 PM. |

Re: Gilmore Car Museum
I'm thinking Tuesday, it is supposed to be great weather, no weekend traffic, just the speed bump I call Chicago. Thanks for the replies, I've checked their web site and I thought I'd get some advice from people that have been there. Thanks again, Clyde

Re: Gilmore Car Museum
They have a diner on the grounds so you don't have to leave when hungry. Decent food......... Gar Williams

The diner is nice--a reasonably authentic rennovation of an actual imported diner. However, only stuff that can be heated without a flame is available. Good hot dogs and pie. There's more of a traditional restaurant down the road a mile or so in downtown Hickory Corners (!). There's also an old-timey gas station restored. Ross's car is parked in front of it in his little avatar picture. Steve |

Re: Gilmore Car Museum
If I heard right it is the premier auto museum that is open to the public. It's also a "teaching" museum and IIRC on Tues and Thurs. afternoons they have classes for "at risk" high school students. If you could see what they're doing you'd be impressed.
