Museum trip

[davehummell]

I and two of my friends traveled up to the Northeast Classic car museum in Norwich NY. I can highly recommend this place, over 200 cars and motorcycles and a display of radial airplane engines. Lots of high end cars from the thirty's, hotrods even had three cars that raced in the race of gentlemen trog. lots of cars from the sixtys well worth the effort to get there. Last winter we went to the Brockway museum in Cortland NY. that was a place I highly recommend also.

Sounds like you hit up some seriously cool spots. I've been itching to check out some museums myself, so I'm glad to hear you had a blast. If you're still on the hunt for more museum recommendations, I might have a suggestion or two up my sleeve. As for me, I've been on the lookout for the best US theme parks lately. Trying to find the ultimate spot for some adrenaline-fueled fun with the crew. Any hidden gems you've stumbled upon in your travels? Let's swap tips and make our next thrill-seeking expedition one for the books!

I don’t have much of a bucket list, but I think Smithsonian Institute would be on it. The other one was Pensacola Florida dragstrip, but they closed it…. Bob

I've always wanted to travel to the big truck or tractor shows but it seems to far in either direction. 

Also I'm getting pretty tired of these AI generated accounts. You can feel they're not quite human and always have some sort of link that's likely a scam. I fear for the day when we'll no longer be able to tell who's human and not. Most importantly: NEVER CLICK ON ANY LINK BY THESE ACCOUNTS EVER!!

Back to museums!!!  The Keystone Museum in Colonial Heights VA should be at the top of everyone's list!!! First exit north of the 85 / 95 split with 18 wheel parking.. Tractors, trucks, toys and a on premises diner.. And a motel with in walking distance.. Plan on spending ALL day!!!! Call ahead and a group could possibly get a back room tour of their shop????

For the drag racer there is the Gartlis Museum in Ocala FL to combine with the ATCA Winter Nationals Bushnell FL in January..

And the Brockway Museum in Cortland is actually 4 museums in one!!!! The Central New York Living History Center..

I agree, the Keystone museum is great, well worth the trip!..me and Zina got married there you know. Dave took us on a tour of the shop where he did most of the restoration work one time, a few years ago. I still owe Dave a hotdog and a Pepsi, but he says I owe him a steak dinner- which I would be more than happy to buy him. When me and Zina reconnected in 2017 it was because she somehow saw my picture on Facebook when I was sitting in Keystone 's PIE Freightliner in Winchester, Va. and Dave took my picture. I was glad to see he made the trip to Florida recently. Let us know when you're going, we're only a couple hours away!

And we've been saying for years that we were going to Don Garlits' museum in Ocala when we were in Florida, but we just haven't gotten around to it yet.
