The Collection On Palmetto Foundation - Museum in Clearwater - 2116 Palmetto St, USA

Super cool spot for car lovers! Highly recommend taking a short day trip there to see the really awesome old cars and learn about the history of how they came to be! The man working the front desk was so informative and friendly (I didn’t get his name. He had glasses and longer gray hair). I will definitely be coming back on my next Florida trip!

First of all, the landscape outside of the building is beautiful with a big pond on your left when you enter. The building is air conditioned, brightly lit, and feels so clean. The cars are in great condition and a lovely gentleman, a volunteer, periodically checked in with us and gave us so much information about the cars and the history of the companies, the engines, and so much more! He did not hover or rush and allowed us to enjoy the atmosphere. They have a small video playing with the bus system in California which was interesting to watch. We even got to honk one of the horns (definitely not what I thought it would sound like). The train runs on Tuesdays and we had arrived on Wednesday, which was fine, but they were slow and so hospitable that they even started up the train for us. It goes around the property and under the trees. You can also walk the property and enjoy their gazebo up front. It was a wonderful experience!

What a great experience. This is a private collection of beautifully resorted vintage vehicles. The hospitality was fantastic with time taken to walk the vehicles and learn as much as we wanted. Everyone was family, so they coordinated and accommodated guests with tremendous pride. We got a great steam and kerosene engine demonstration topped off with a train ride around the property. This little known gem is worth a visit.

This is a fantastic piece to visit. The cars inside are stunning and beautifully presented. The vintage cars on display are full of history and we learned a great deal from the displays and excellent tour guide. The engines outside are stunning and we were lucky enough to see the traction engine running. The train ride was very enjoyable and our visit here was a real highlight of summer break. My 2 boys and I love it here! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, we will for sure come back. I’d happily recommend a visit to this wonderful museum.

What a fabulous little museum! Incredible cars in a new building on a lushly planted property. I am not particularly interested in historical cars but I really learned so much that it made the trip worthwhile. The staff was super friendly and informative. And I admired the excellent murals painted on the walls that put the cars in historical context. Definitely fun and educational.

A great family run museum housing early automobiles and industrial machines. There are a few "newer" pieces, but things are pre-1940s with some very rare early cars from long gone manufacturers (Pierce, Locomobile, Stanley Steamers, etc).

Such a unique place, beautiful grounds, and attentive staff. Aside from how pristine all the autos and machinery are, it's really amazing to know everything runs and when you see the outside machinery, unlike what you see a typical museum, they actually start up the old engines and show you how they work. They also have beautiful murals to go with the machines and even let visitors climb up into one for your own photo ops. Very enlightening place!

A fantastic collection of Steam cars and other very early automobiles and steam powered engines in a spectacular setting. The curators are wonderful as well
