The Nethercutt Collection

The Nethercutt Collection presents over 200 meticulously restored American and European automobiles alongside rare mechanical musical instruments and a restored steam locomotive/railcar. The public Museum building offers a self‑guided look at the display and restoration work.

The private Collection building across the street is open by guided tour only; tours run Thursday–Saturday and include access to both buildings. Confirm tour times and reserve in advance on the venue website or by phone.

Start in the public museum to see rotating displays of concours‑quality cars, automated musical instruments and restoration exhibits. The atmosphere is museum‑quiet with interpretive labels and long sightlines to the cars.

Look out for:

• Rare pre‑war and post‑war American and European automobiles in concours condition.

• Large mechanical musical instruments and a restored steam locomotive/railcar.

• Restoration shop views and descriptive exhibits about conservation practices.

• The private Collection tour (guided, limited capacity) for behind‑the‑scenes items not on public display.

Best way to experience it:

Book the guided Collection tour if you want the full access — tours are timed and include the Museum. Arrive early to use the on‑site parking and to browse the Museum before or after the tour.

• Museum open Thu–Sat (check the site calendar for current hours).

• Guided Collection tours require reservations and include Museum admission.

• Photography allowed but tripods, monopods and selfie‑sticks are prohibited.

• The Collection does not provide wheelchairs; check accessibility details before visiting.
