Keystone Antique Truck & Tractor Museum

Great breakfast!!! Had the Pride Special. They have the Pride and Joy Specials for breakfast all day. Great portions and great prices. Our waitress Bailey was awesome and very attentive. Highly recommend this place for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Will visit the museum next time I go. The Cord auto in the lobby was beautiful!

A must see for historical architecture buffs. Beautiful house and a very informed and pleasant docent. We toured the house (reservations required!) and wandered the grounds for a couple of hours. A great day trip to a beautiful area of Virginia.

If you like cars, tractors, trucks, bus.... this is the place to be. If you have nothing else to do and want to spend a few hours away from home, this is the place to be. Highly recommended. After the tour, you can stop for lunch at the restaurant inside the museum building.

Five stars, and possibly a sixth star hidden somewhere behind a 1920s tractor tire. If you think tractors are boring, Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum exists solely to prove you wildly, historically wrong. This place is less “museum” and more “love letter to internal combustion, steel, and human ingenuity.” You walk in and immediately run into heavy hitters. The Waterloo Boy, which later became the first John Deere, fully restored and looking like it is ready to plow a field at a moment’s notice. Nearby is what may be one of the earliest hydraulic tractors ever built, assembled from government surplus parts, aviation components, and even an Indian motorcycle. Because apparently when you run out of tractor parts, you just invent new history. There are hundreds of tractors spanning brands like John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Ferguson, German manufacturers, and dozens more. And it does not stop there. The vehicle collection includes everything from Model TT trucks and antique buses to a tractor trailer with a second engine bolted on the front like a mechanical rhinoceros. The wild part is that most of these look like you could hop in, turn the key, and drive straight out the door. Oh wait... That's because you could literally hop into any, turn the key, and it would crank and purr like a kitten. They rotate through cranking them on a regular basis just to keep them fully lubed and good to go. The museum was built by a bunch of people but Keith Jones is the proprietor, and if you are lucky, you might run into Keith himself or one of his brothers or family members. Keith walking the floor is like having a walking encyclopedia with a Southern accent. He can tell you what it is, why it matters, how it was built, and probably what the driver had for breakfast in 1937. Speaking of breakfast, the on-site restaurant is not an afterthought. It is a destination. One of the best breakfasts in Virginia is served right here, and the steady flow of locals will confirm that. The gift shop is equally impressive and dangerously tempting. Whether you are into tractors, trucks, engineering, history, or just really good food in an unforgettable setting, this place delivers. Corporate event, family outing, lunch stop, or full-on mechanical pilgrimage, Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum is a must-see. Come for the tractors. Stay for the food. Leave with a newfound respect for machines that refuse to quit.

Really incredible collection of vintage big rigs. I have not seen such a collection at any any other transportation museum. The historic cars and tractors were very cool, but the big rig room stole the show. Plan to spend about 2 hours, more if vehicle nerd.

Amazing place. We walked around in awe for hours. The collection is vast and very interesting. I cannot imagine the cleaning crew for this place. There was dust on NOTHING. Very welcoming staff and an absolutely wonderful experience. Wish we’d known about the diner. We stopped for Chick Fil A on the way and then we’re feeling a little cheated once seeing the breakfast spread the diner was capable of.

Hands down one of the best museums of its kind! Last minute decision to visit the Keystone Antique Truck & Tractor Museum and it did not disappoint! It is huge! With so many incredible collectible cars/trucks/tractors. From the neon signs, to the soda bottle collection, even the toy 18 wheeler displays, there was so much to look at, for all ages and interests! Meticulous kept museum and every single piece of equipment was in show condition! It was absolutely incredible to see. We had no idea there was a diner inside, but when we come back we look forward to stopping there as well. Cute little gift shop to get a souvenir and they offered a military discount on admission tickets.

Perhaps one of the best museums ever. I'm not into tractors but I learned so much and saw so many awesome displays I would encourage you to stop. Admission is a great bargain. Added bonus the restaurant just inside the main entrance. Yum and inexpensive! If nothing else stop in for a bite.

Worth the stop!!! It is not a collection of trucks and tractors, but other vehicles and just straight up Americana. The story behind it just adds to the visit. Also has a diner inside that serves all three meals, which was excellent, quick, and a good value.

This afternoon we spent a few hours at the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum having lunch and touring the museum. What an amazing place!! Highly recommended!!

We had a blast! We always drive by on 95 and I'm so glad we stopped in. They have a restaurant up front open 7-3 daily serving breakfast and lunch. Everything was delicious, affordable, and the service was phenomenal. They have kids menus and crayons too. The bathrooms were clean and have super thick toilet paper and a CHANGING table! Now for the museum. It's huge!! There are so many tractors, buses, cars, bicycles, trucks, antiques, etc. There's one tractor up front that you can sit in, but the rest you can view from behind the ropes. Each vehicle has a little sign with history. It's self guided and there's a gift shop too. Check it out. Fun for all ages.

Fantastic little museum filled with tractors, trucks, and vintage vehicles, as well as miniature toys of the same. The museum is immaculately kept and staff are super friendly. Definitely recommend this museum for anyone with little ones currently into trucks and tractors (unfortunately, not many they can sit on) or an enthusiast. Totally worth the visit! Plenty of parking and you purchase tickets ($15/adult) at the gift shop. Discounted prices on tickets for military, seniors, and children. The museum also has a diner open from 7am to 3pm, Mon-Sun, for breakfast and lunch. Prices are very reasonable and the food was great.

What a fabulous Truck Museum to tour. Just South of Richmond, VA. I don't know where to start..... There is so much to see inside. We did get a chance to speak with owners Keith & Joy. Such delightful people. As we travel in a Class A Coach, we are able to park in their Harvest Host area. They have 10 wide spots on gravel and for a small fee, there are water/electric hook ups available. Dump station is on the premises as well. We had a great breakfast & lunch in the Museum Cafe. The day we were there, we got to experience the trucks getting loaded with up some vehicles for a show in York, PA. Highly recommended to stop in.... Just to drool over all the old trucks & trackers !!!

I discovered this place on a whim one evening while browsing Yelp during our first trip to Richmond. My husband is into cars, particularly vintage ones, and we don't have any museums like this where we're from. It was also a nice excuse to drive out of the city and within a reasonable distance. We arrived on a Saturday morning. There is ample free parking for both regular vehicles and RVs, and you can also camp your RV there with water/electric hookups for a small fee. The main parking lot is on the side where the main entrance is but there are also some stalls on the opposite end of the building and also a large separate parking lot in the back specifically for event guests and RVs. It seems to be a popular place to visit for the museum but also for private events and for the diner. The diner seemed pretty busy but there was ample space throughout the museum and gift shop to explore at our leisure. There are restrooms under the clock in the diner area and also restrooms in the museum towards the back of the first room under the big sign (I forget what exactly sign it was but the gift shop staff can tell you). When we got there, we headed to the gift shop and got our tickets. There is a guest book on the counter if you want to leave your mark (: There was a sign in the shop that said if you spend a certain amount in the gift shop, you get one free admission. The tickets are so reasonably priced though and it goes directly towards a good cause (the museum is a 501c3 nonprofit) so we just paid full admission. The woman working the gift shop was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. She led us into the first room of the museum and gave us a short history of the museum and then we were on our own to explore. There is A LOT to explore, especially if you take the time to really view all of the vehicles/artifacts and read all of the signs. There is a sign for each vehicle describing the history, special features, cultural influence, and basic specs. In addition to vehicles (cars, trucks, firetrucks, delivery trucks, tractors, etc.), there were impressive collections of vintage items ranging from radios to washing machines to soda cans/food cans to chain saws. Despite having a lot of items, there is ample walking space and I can see it being easy to maneuver wheelchairs and strollers. In regards to children, I feel like this museum would be best for maybe elementary school and above since you can't touch the vehicles/artifacts but they are still cool to look at. I overheard some parents reflecting on how "papa had that exact car" to their little kids so that was nice. Tip: get a museum brochure from the gift shop; it has a long scavenger hunt list on it that could be fun for kids! There isn't a time limit so how long it would take to visit depends on how in-depth you're wanting to explore the museum (a quick walk through vs. reading all the signage). Again, tickets are inexpensive so it could be a nice place to kill some time in the AC if you're waiting to check in to your hotel/AirBnB. What I loved most about this place besides the obvious impressive collection was the customer service we received from the gift shop staff and the community feel the space had. Again, it's not just a museum with a gift shop: it's also a diner, event space, and RV camping space. Don't forget to take a photo with the art installation out in front where various vehicle parts spell out "LOVE"!

Not just trucks and tractors, enjoyed our time visiting. Great for families. Very clean and affordable.

Fantastic place To spend the day! There is even a diner for breakfast and lunch that's open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is also plenty of seats throughout the museum, from benches to porch rockers. Amazing information, amazing collections of many other things, like toys, bottles, tools and so much more. Don't be in a hurry here!

We came into the museum on a weekday morning about 10 am with our family of 8. We visited the restaurant first and then the museum portion followed by the gift shop. The museum was very well put together and emaculate. Each vehicle had a description of the vehicle and information about its history which we very much enjoyed. There were many photo opportunities as well. The gift shop was also well put together and the attendant informed us of multiple upcoming themed events, like that of a monster truck Halloween event. Admission was about $10 per person. There several discounted rates available such as a military discount available only to servicemembers, a senior discount, and a reduced child rate. We would both recommend and return in the future.

I really enjoyed this museum, it was more than just tractors. Basically it is a private collection open to the public for a small entrance fee. The docent gave a brief overview of the museum and stated all tractors/vehicles except 3 were fully functional. The tractors were mostly all restored and organized by manufacturer. Besides the truck and tractors on display there was a lot of Americana displays. One section was devoted to tobacco, another soda/bottles, lots of tools, and toy cars. For $5 this is a must see just for the historical value of the items on display. There must have been over 1000 trophys on display for the various vehicles in this museum.

Make the trip! This museum is huge and has the most beautiful cars, trucks and tractors. Staff was SUPER friendly and helpful. I'll take family when they are in town.

Today at noon I tried to visit the Keystone Tractor Works just outside of Richmond, VA. Tried. On the door is a sign stating "No Pets Allowed. Service dogs welcome." Service dogs are not welcome. The ticket lady asked for papers proving my service dog was a service dog. I explained that by law she is not allowed to ask that. The ADA is very clear. She can ask "Is that a service dog." And "What task is the dog trained to perform." She told me without documents proving he is a service dog he can not enter. I asked to see the manager. The manager. Not a friendly man. Told me the ADA says he can demand documentation. I asked for him to get on a computer and show me. He said he doesn't have time for that. I told him the ADA is very clear. He can not discriminate against me. He said he can. And I am not welcome. As I was leaving another man told me "I don't know where you are from. Things are different here." WHAT! My service dog flies several times a year. Has been on several cruises. Visited five countries, bypassing quarantine. He is with me for doctor appointments, and my daughters doctor allowed him to be in the delivery room for my granddaughter's birth. He has been with me on several ambulance rides, and sat by me in the emergency room. But he is not welcome in a truck and tractor museum. I do carry, my service dogs shot records, my doctor's prescription for a service dog, and documents proving he is a service dog. If the museum employees were not so unfriendly, I may have produced them. I wonder if they would have allowed us in or found another reason to turn us away.

Surprised how large the place was. Also had a very busy restaurant. Stayed longer than I expected.

Their diner was the best food and great portions.. very much a hidden gem . I ate there 3 days in a row during my visit.. highly recommend

As good as a museum gets! It's a huge private collection of all kinds of vehicles, antiques and artwork. It would take hours to see every part of it, so I plan to return again soon. The staff was very friendly, and for only $10 adult admission, it's an easy way to treat yourself.

Great museum and diner! I really enjoyed taking the girls to see all the different trucks and tractors. The diner was great!

Wish I could give this place a 5 star review. The food at the grill and the service was amazing. However, the ticket lady and the man that told us about the museum were very rude and clearly not happy that we were bringing our 2 & 3 year olds that LOVE cars and trucks. Long story short our kids were excited and jogging to see the equipment, but we were constantly being watched and told we needed to keep them at our side.... Ok. ... if they don't want little kids in the museum then they should just say so.

Excellent experience. From the staff's hospitality to this museum's awesome collection of hundreds of antique trucks, tractors, motorcycles, bikes and cars, this place is very impressive. Highly recommend it. There is also a restaurant onsite. It had just closed as we finished our visit. But the collection is definitely worth a visit, all by itself.

This is a fantastic collection of mainly restored heavy trucks, and farm tractors. There are also some cars, motorcycles, petrolinia, tools and other complimentary antiques on display. I had no idea this was here! The cleverly displayed, rusty, roached out '56 Chevys on the period and equally rusted and roached out, (maybe also a '56) Chevrolet or GMC truck and car hauler is what initially caught my eye. Adult admission is currently $10! I spent a little more for a tasty lunch at their cafe. All was worth every penny! Okay

We stopped in on a whim with our entire family after meeting up for lunch. The staff was very friendly and inviting. They offer a generous military discount as well! The collection of tractors, trucks, firetrucks and other items was very impressive. Everything looked as if it could be driven off of a showroom floor. This is truly a collection that is well cared for. We had a fun time learning about the vehicles. I would recommend this as a stop for people of all ages!

Outstanding wow a super large and extremely neat to see so many antique tractors cars and trucks. Amazing restored condition of hundreds of vehicles from 1920s to 1970s. Truly awesome to small and life-size toys for any adult or child. Very highly recommended

Unbelievable is all I can say. If you are 2 or 102 you will love this museum. It will definitely exceed your expectations! You can have lunch there as well and pick up some very reasonable gifts. We absolutely loved it!

We really didn't have enough time in our schedule last Saturday to see everything in this unique museum. Nor did we have enough time to eat at the barbecue restaurant there. All of the tractors, cars, trucks, and various other antique equipment are wonderfully arranged, beautifully restored, and pleasing to the senses. The signs explaining the history and function of each piece contain just the right amount of information. Roy's rural childhood gave him the background to fully understand the agricultural equipment, as he had used or owned quite a few of the pieces of equipment in the museum. The place is huge. So glad we went!

It is very easy to just drive past this place without giving it a second look. My in-laws were in town and we wanted to take them to do some fun activities during their visit. We came here and had so much fun! It is basically an enormous collection or trucks, tractors, and more from different eras. It was really neat to see all of the different vehicles on display. The inside of this place is HUGE. Great way to spend a few hours.

They advertise a closing time of 6pm, but actually lock up at 5:00pm. We arrived right at 5:00 on the dot but when we rattled the gift shop entrance door, the shopkeep just on the other side of the glass ignored us and continued to close out her register. Big let down being travelers from San Diego who won't be back in the area for a long time if ever. Based on this experience- Thumbs Down!

This place is a must see if you like old tractors, trucks, signs, bottles, etc. They've got all kinds of things in here. A truly amazing place. You will not be disappointed!

It's a nice museum, filled with tractor's, cars, trucks, and some motorcycle. The bbq palce located inside its pretty great to

Great place to walk around and experience history. Tractors, cars, motorcycles, trucks and more in pristine condition. Very clean. Great place to spend the afternoon. Will Have to come back and start in a different section so I can appreciate before i get tired!

Had an awesome time at this museum. Lots of tractors but much more: trucks, antique cars, fire trucks, etc. All of the tractors and vehicles have been restored (look brand new). The museum is huge, clean and modern. I would highly recommend. The gift shop is also very cool and stocked with toys and collectibles. My son loved the large collection of antique model tractor trailers that they have on display. They even have a tractor for the kids to climb up on for pictures. Had a great time. If you get a chance it is definitely worth a visit. Also reasonably priced and family affordable. Can't wait to go back for another visit.

Tractors. Lots of 'em. Classic cars. Big rigs. If you're still reading this review, and it's during the museum's opening hours, get off the internet and go look at some tractors. It's really amazing how many they have, and how well restored everything is. You really feel like you are in a tractor showroom or something. Was it worth taking a drive down from Northern VA? Sure was, as you aren't going to find something like this anywhere else. While I can partially claim that the trip was to fulfill a promise to my son (our last attempted visit occurred on our way home after the museum had closed), the truth is that I was really stoked to get to see all the machinery on display.

An antique tractor museum just off the freeway located in an old non descript warehouse adjacent to a run down mall, sounds wonderful doesn't it? You're probably thinking two dozen or three dozen old tractors, maybe a few John Deere ads and a tractor or two from some company you have never seen or heard of. In reality this a jem with over 300 tractors, trucks and cars in amazing condition with antique toys, tools and artifacts sprinkled throughout. There is so much to look at that repeat trips are necessary!

So cool! Took our 7 yr old and 3 1/2 year old. More tractors, vehicles, fire engines, and more than we thought could be inside. Beautifully maintained vehicles. Highly recommend.

wonderful museum full of many many antiques. when we walked in the lady was very nice to us and asked us where we were from. she then let us put a pin in the map of places everyone has been. there's not just tractors at the museum, there's fire trucks, campers, cars, bicycles, etc. everyone there was very friendly and i even met some nice folks from pennsylvania. it would've been better if my family didn't complain the whole time but overall the experience was good.

Great place, incredible collection of tractors and trucks, also some great neon signs and gas pumps. also a nice gift shop and a good barbecue restaurant on site
