Cussler Museum

The Cussler Museum displays more than 100 rare and vintage automobiles from about 1906–1965, built from author Clive Cussler’s personal collection. Exhibits include restored classics and interpretive labels explaining provenance and restoration.

The museum is a small nonprofit attraction in Arvada with seasonal hours (May–September). It’s best for car enthusiasts, history buffs, and families looking for a focused, offbeat museum visit.
