Go Behind the Scenes at the Gilmore Car Museum
This free guided tour will take you to places generally closed to the public and give you a peek at parts of the vast historic car collection that no one sees.
The name Gilmore has a rich Kalamazoo history and the past is kept alive at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners. It is North America s largest auto museum, with a collection of over 400 vehicles. Like any museum, not everything can be on display at once; there are many artifacts, exotic items and exhibits that are tucked away behind the scenes. Tuesdays this Winter, you can get exclusive access to view portions of Gilmore s car and motorcycle collections that are typically unavailable to the public during winter months.
