It was fun back in the day as they had not only the cars they do today, but they boasted an incredible collection of American firearms from the flintlocks of the American Revolution to the Six-Shooters of the Wild Wild West. No more. The cars alone are worth the trek. From those crazy platform things with an engine to Caddy's, a Doosy, and everything in between. Incredible vintage, originals and restored. There is also a building for rotating exhibits. A wonderful set of gardens of flowers, fauna, and herbs. A lovely walk. Also, they've a nice store with some local touristy kind of trinkets, Cape historical stuff, and books on subject at the museum. Several buildings. All walkable. Wear a hat on warm sunny days. Having a water would be a good idea too. A good walk for those in shape. Elderly or handi-able there might be some challenges. I love this place. Reminds me of my childhood and simpler times. A Cape Cod classic.

HMG has quite an amazing and rather extensive collection of automobiles from the early days 1905, 1920s, 1930s, to 1940s. Great to see the various transitions the production and inventions the auto industry went through - various engines of electric, steam, or gasoline as fuel. All autos are perfectly restored and in working condition! Then meander through the magnifique Hydrangea gardens - eight varieties and 160 species...the full varied gardens cover 100 acres. (Lookout NYBG). You're welcome! Finish at the exquisitely restored carousel for a lovely ride! The carousel is beautifully restored. Built in 1908 in Providence, Rhode Island. Thank you for a wonderful time!

SCOTT PRIOR IS OUSTANDING IN HIS DEPICTIONS OF CAPE COD AND BERKSHIRE LIFE!…read more I had gone out of my way to make a reservation on March 18, the very first day of the 2021 season and I was not disappointed by the paintings of Scott Prior, a Cape Cod native. His use of texture, light, color and detail stimulated my eyes and moved my soul as I viewed his poignant portrayals of life on Cape Cod and in the Massachusetts Berkshires. The collection is small; however, I so enjoyed Mr. Prior's work that I found myself lingering, appreciating and not wanting to leave. Very glad I visited the museum It made my entire day!
