Virginia's Largest Family Collection is off the beaten path but well worth a trip for the car enthusiast. Examples of Carter, Star, Stephen, Cleveland, Hupmobile, Paige, Nash, Essex and the big iron - Packard and Cadillac are among the unique cars displayed. Most of the collection is comprised of cars from the 1920s and 1930s. The oldest being a 1904 Carter Electric Motorette and the most recent a 1948 Playboy Model A-48. The museum features 32 vintage cars on display along with Stationary Engines, Horse-Drawn Equipment, Old Farm Tools, Period Advertising and a myriad of relics. The exhibit presents the preservation of many once-everyday items whose purpose and meanings were almost forgotten as the race towards progress rendered them obsolete - things many people wouldn't have thought to save. However our collector, the late John Dudley, made it his life-long hobby to bring together the autos and memorabilia that he remembered growing up, to share with others. Please call for an appointment to tour the museum. Open May through October. Plan to spend about an hour or more.
