Model T Museum

Operated by the Model T Ford Club of America, the Model T Museum in Richmond preserves and interprets Ford's iconic early automobiles across a two-building campus. The collection spans rare early Town Cars and touring cars to specialty vehicles and a Pietenpol airplane with a Model T engine.

Single admission covers the Main Building and the adjacent Agency Building. On-site features include a working 1920s repair shop exhibit, reference library, gift shop, volunteer docents, and an interactive virtual tour on the museum website.
