Overview

Lane Motor Museum displays roughly 150 vehicles at a time from a larger collection, focusing on European microcars, prototypes, amphibious and alternative‑fuel vehicles. The museum bills itself as a "working museum," with rotating displays and an emphasis on unique, one‑off cars and motorcycles.

Located on Murfreesboro Pike in a former bakery, the museum offers free on‑site parking and hosts vehicle demonstrations on weekend mornings. It’s compact enough for a focused 1–2 hour visit and is especially interesting to enthusiasts of obscure automotive history.

What to Expect

A compact, well‑curated collection of mostly European vehicles spanning early 1900s to modern day.

Look out for:

  • Classic microcars and three‑wheelers with rare factory details.
  • Amphibious and military vehicles tucked among civilian cars.
  • One‑off prototypes and experimental/alternative‑fuel models.
  • Vehicle demonstrations at 11:00 AM on Saturdays and Sundays (free with admission).

Best way to experience it: arrive when the museum opens to view the galleries before a demo, allow 1–2 hours for the exhibits, and pick up a map at the front desk to focus on the sections you care about most.

Things to Note

  • Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
  • Vehicle demos run at 11:00 AM on weekends and are included with admission.
  • Free on‑site parking available off Murfreesboro Pike.
  • Tickets accepted by cash, Visa, MasterCard and Discover (the museum notes it does not accept AMEX).
