Upcoming Events!

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
THU. MARCH 20, 5-8

Experience one of the coolest nights in town! With most of the overhead lights dimmed, the vibrant glow of neon signs will transport you back to an era when the streets first came alive with color and light. Each guest will receive a glow necklace to enhance the vibrant atmosphere! Don’t pass this one up, we won’t have another one until the fall of 2025!

HOODS UP! & the EASTER BUNNY!
SAT., APRIL 19, 11-2

Guest will have the unique opportunity to get an up-close look at the craftsmanship, engineering, and power that lie beneath the hoods. It’s a perfect day for gearheads and curious visitors alike to explore the mechanical beauty that makes these automobiles true pieces of history. The Easter Bunny will be on site for free photos and crafts for the kids!

ORPHAN CAR SHOW
SAT., SEPTEMBER 13

We will host our inaugural Orphan Car Show this fall. From sleek classics to funky oddballs, “orphaned” cars are packed with personality and stories to tell.  Bring your curiosity, your camera, and maybe even your dancing shoes because who says a car show can’t be a party? Come join the fun and celebrate the history, creativity, and spirit of the cars that paved the way!  Registration will be open this Spring!

Our Reviews

Today (12/14/2022) was the 1st time my wife and I were able to visit the Stahls Collection, and we must say we were already blown away by the fantastic assembly of mechanical instruments in just the entry room. Then when the cars took over, whatever room left in the brain to fill it with fantastic automobilia was overloaded with superb examples across the range from 1900 to the 1970’s THREE Thumbs Up! Brian B.

Where is the happiest place on earth, no, not Disney land, Stahls Motors, and Music Experience. It is a magical place full of the most significant vehicles, along with a treasure of musical machines. I feel sorry for anyone who has not enjoyed this museum. It is staffed by experts who are volunteers who are proud to be there. When the organs start playing, everyone runs to them with big smiles because they are not just here to show their beauty, but all the music displays work, and you can hear them play.
