Wisconsin Automotive Museum - Hartford, Wisconsin

Interesting museum focusing on vehicles manufactured in the area, including Kissel and Nash. The collection includes a variety of other rare vehicles, which are not often seen at car shows or in other museums. Additional exhibits showcase trains, local auto racers, and automotive memorabilia such as gas pumps, tools, and signage. Definitely worth the stop!

Planes, trains, and automobiles can be found at this fantastic hidden gem! Ok, it's mostly cars and trucks, but they do technically have a little bit of the trains & planes too! The kiddos loved walking through (3 y/o & baby). The old firetrucks were a hit, as was the train (both the model train when you enter as well as the large engine in the back). The volunteers are passionate about the museum as well - they have a lot of good history to share if you're interested. We will be coming back again when they're older!

This large building, attached to a performing arts center, holds many cars built from factories here in Wisconsin. Pretty cool. There was a luxurious "Kissel" brand made in Hartford that was owned by many famous people.
There are also many recent past models on display here also. In the back is also a working steam train that goes out on tour once or twice a year.

Great car museum with lots of stuff to see. Definitely worth the drive from Milwaukee when we were in town.

Fantastic collection and well laid out. I took my Dad here today for an early Father’s Day gift, we have been wanting to check this place out for years after seeing many shows at the Schauer Center. He was in 7th Heaven, we spent almost 2 hours admiring all of the displays and learning more about Kissel and Nash cars (as well as many others).

I also want to thank the volunteer, Ron (or Don?) for his welcoming presence and extensive knowledge of the collection!

Very interesting collection I wish there was more variety, but they have a very unique history to their cars

Very nice place, had a long conversation with one of the employees regarding the study of Nash cars and Wisconsin contribution to car manufacturing in the United States. A lot of things to see and actually interact with. I usually don't say this of the places I visit but the lady of the counter when I play the ticket oh my Lord she's so cute
