"An exciting, rapidly growing passion project from founders Ward and Brenda Morgan, this museum in a very unique location celebrates the evolution of automobiles through thoughtfully curated categories—from “luxury legends,” like a 1952 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, to “rare gems,” like a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger MKII. It also makes a convenient day trip, sitting a little under two hours from Kansas City." - Lydia Mansel

The docents were very friendly and the cars gleam like they just rolled off the assembly line. The Tucker 48 was what drew me in, but I had a wonderful time looking at the entire collection.

What an impressive collection of amazing cars. From older classic cars, to George Barris customs, to newer Super cars such as a Lamborghini Aventador and a new Ford GT, this collection has something for all enthusiasts. We also spoke with one of the volunteers and he was incredibly knowledgeable and knew insights and tidbits on all the cars we asked about. I would highly recommend stopping by if you are a car guy, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent car museum. They have a good collection of cars and they are maintained so we'll that you might think you are at a new car dealership in the 1900s. The staff is ever helpful and patiently answers all your questions.

Wow! The facility was fantastic! The cars were incredible! Lincolns, corvettes, camaros, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and so much more! Sonny and Cher's cars were so fun! The staff? Even better than the facility! Friendly, knowledgeable, and personable! Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting or passing through Manhattan!

This museum features a wide variety of automobiles, from some of the earliest machines built, to modern-day supercars.
Very knowledgeable staff and volunteers were available for questions, and provided great insight to the collection.
Many displays have well-produced, audio commentary available by scanning a QR code on your phone.

Wow! What an amazing collection. Several cars I've never seen before, mainly because they are one of a kind or exceedingly rare. A hidden gem, and a must stop in the Little Apple.

Absolutely wonderful and informative staff. The collection is very diverse and very valuable. This is the best collection of cars that I have personally seen. You can get a tour or do one yourself with the signage that tells the story of each car. One of the jewels of this collection is a car called the Tucker which is one of 51, including the prototype. They will always have different cars in this collection due to their 3 month loan program that allows them to have a few temporary exhibits. 10/10 would recommend.

I have not been there, though I would love to.
From the YouTube videos it looks like a great place.
The people involved in developing The MIdwest Dream Car Collection seem like a really great group of folks.
