Overview

The Pontiac Transportation Museum showcases Pontiac’s wheeled‑transportation history—cars, trucks, carriages and motorcycles—plus local industrial stories tied to Pontiac Motor Division and GMC. The nonprofit museum opened to the public in May 2024 and occupies a renovated historic building at 250 W. Pike St.

Public hours are Thu–Sat 10:00 AM–6:00 PM and Sun 12:00 PM–5:00 PM; the site is ADA barrier‑free and offers onsite parking. The museum runs the monthly “Wheels of Time” lecture series, school programs and event rentals, and has a small gift shop.

What to Expect

Start with a short self‑guided route through exhibits that trace manufacturing, community and vehicle displays; many placards explain provenance and local ties.

Look out for:

  • Restored Pontiac and GMC vehicles alongside earlier carriages and motorcycles.
  • Exhibits on Pontiac Motor Division and local industry connections.
  • Rotating displays and the monthly "Wheels of Time" lecture series.
  • A gift shop and event/rental information at the front desk.

Best way to experience it:
Arrive during regular hours (Thu–Sat 10–6, Sun 12–5) to allow 60–90 minutes for exhibits and the shop; contact the museum for group visits or to time your visit around a lecture.
