Night at the Museum is back this October, and it’s the perfect evening out for the whole family. When the doors close for the day, the collection comes alive in a whole new way. Glowing neon lights fill the room with color, our rare and historic automobiles shine under dramatic lighting, and the music of our automated instruments creates a magical soundtrack to your visit.
Kids will love the adventure of exploring after dark, while parents and grandparents can share stories, memories, and a sense of wonder as they wander through the cars, music machines, and memorabilia together. It’s more than just a visit, it’s an experience that blends history, music, and imagination in a way that everyone can enjoy.
Mark your calendars and get ready for an evening that will spark curiosity, inspire conversation, and create lasting memories. Night at the Museum is a family tradition waiting to happen, and we can’t wait to welcome you back this October.
Despite a touch of rain, the very first Orphan Car Show at Stahls Motors & Music Experience was a resounding success! The drizzle didn’t dampen the spirits of car owners, enthusiasts, and families who came out to celebrate the marques and models that time has left behind, but history has never forgotten.
From Pontiacs and Packards to Hudsons, Studebakers, and so many more, our grounds were filled with unique and fascinating vehicles that showcased the innovation and artistry of automakers long gone. Guests were able to stroll the collection, enjoy live stories during the “Pass in Review,” and share their love of automotive history with fellow enthusiasts. Youth judges along with the Mentor judges, and awards added extra excitement, making the day memorable for participants of all ages.
A Special Honor
The highlight of the show was the presentation of the “Lost but Not Least” Best in Show Award, which went to Dani Homrich for his stunning 1937 Packard 1501 Dietrich Victoria. This remarkable automobile captured the admiration of judges and spectators alike, earning its place as the star of the day. Dani took home a Stahls camping chair with a canopy and a rolling Yeti cooler!
Community, Cars, and Camaraderie
What made this event truly special was the sense of community. Even with umbrellas in hand, guests lingered to share stories, admire the craftsmanship of these “orphan” vehicles, and connect over a shared passion for preserving automotive history.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated, from car owners who proudly displayed their treasures, to volunteers and staff who made the day run smoothly, and to every guest who came to support this new tradition.
The success of our first Orphan Car Show ensures it won’t be the last, plans are already underway for next year, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to celebrate even more lost but not forgotten legends. Please let us know what you thought if you attended the show!
Congratulations to all the award winners:

I had no idea what to expect when I visited. I have told so many people to get check it out since I went.
This was an amazing experience. Their display of historical music machines and antique automobiles was top notch and wonderful tribute to each musical and automobile historical treasures. We spent at least 3 hours there and will go back as the displays vary every time we attend. Just saying WOW. Everyone should go to this museum and the best part is it was free to attend.
