PHOTOS: Gilmore Car Museum unveils new features for visitors
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — It's one of the top tourist attractions in Southwest Michigan, and the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners just keeps growing.
The museum unveiled for News Channel 3 what's new for visitors this summer.
The biggest change is the new multi-purpose carriage house event center that can be rented for just about anything.
A 1903 Wright Flyer hangs above for even more historic immersion.
They have expanded entertainment options and classes, like "Learn to Drive a Model T."
Additionally, there's a new permanent and historic bar, just sent over from Detroit.
"It came to us as a donation from a famous restaurant in the Detroit area where celebrities went all the time. So you're going to be able to come in here, have an event, sit and have lunch, and see this brand-new setting we have," said Jay Follis from the Gilmore Car Museum.
