Established in 1966.
The Gilmore Car Museum began in 1963 as the hobby of Donald S. Gilmore when his wife, Genevieve, gave him an antique car for his birthday –a 1920 Pierce-Arrow “project car.” The hobby soon grew into a collection of over 30 automobiles and Gilmore purchased 90 acres of farm property and had several historic buildings dismantled piece by piece and moved to the site. The Gilmores established a non-profit foundation, and opened the museum to the public for the first time on Sunday, July 31, 1966. Donald Gilmore passed away in 1979, and Mrs. Gilmore in 1990, but the legacy they began continues to grow.
