Nice, casual event venue. Easy in and out. Loads of parking. Attended a cruise day with family. Caterers served picnic fare. The shaded "boulevard" was perfect for socializing, while the open area presented a space for corn hole playing, dancing and connecting with other car clubs. Clean and well maintained. Spotless restroom.

Was a great experience and wonderful people! Could have improved with location of vehicle parking… for visitors and competitors! Example, they could have the show car arranged in groups of make at least… but either way great location!

This is a gorgeous and well cared for wedding venue. They also have farmers markets on Saturdays. A wedding I attended was handled very well, and they made it a positive experience for both vendors and guests. I highly recommend this location, especially if you're planning a wedding.

Historical site with so many possibilities

I was here for a wedding, the venue is unique. It is an open space and can be transformed and dressed up in many different ways. They offered a tour of the antique cars, the tour guides were very knowledgeable. One down side was the staff did not seem wedding ready. There did not seem to be a uniform and no professionalism for the servers. One lady working the photo booth was even dressed in a sweatshirt and tennis shoes.

A good place for automotive history buff's. Call ahead if you wish for a guided tour. I stopped here on a whim when I was in town for business and found no one around except for one person in charge of scheduling events. They did not mind me walking around and checking things out on my own though which was nice. Lots of informative panels to read about the history of the place and Packard automobiles. Several nice cars engines, and other artifacts on display also.

Got an impromptu tour today and was blown away by the knowledge of the tour guide along with the history of the place. I owned a Packard for 10 years in the 1990s and learned quite a few new things. This place is a must visit for any car or history enthusiast and if you are both, you are in for a real treat!
