Sadly could not experience it because, after driving out of the way, owner was not respectful enough to wear a face covering. So when its not a pandemic, probably interesting and you can disregard, but if youre like me and care about others health, dont waste your time for now.

Was not able to see today. Had to head back to Mexia when owner was immediately available on site. Liked what I saw on Things to see and do in Texas TV segment. Will try again in the future when I decide to return with a friend. I kept the phone # posted at the entrance. Best to plan ahead.

This museum is awesome. Mr. Estes has an excellent collection of original and restored old cars and trucks, large iconic signs and statues like Shoneys Big Boy, a general store, jukeboxes, and so much more. He gives a personal guided tour in which he talks about the significance and history of nearly every piece in his collections. Im really glad that we visited.

Thank you Estes for the wonderful your around your museum. We really enjoyed it and your company. I took lots of pictures but will only post a few to show some appreciation to this nice spot in Hillsboro Texas. Check out our video at the museum on Youtube. Search for: Plante Fresh TV, Hillsboro Texas. Take a souvenir to help Estes out and keep his museum going for generations to come. Lots of history in this place.

You have got to see this place! Cool cars, a vintage soda fountain, lots of old fiberglass advertising statues (Big Boy, Pep Boys, Warner Bros cartoon characters), and much more.And Carroll, the guy who owns the place is a hoot!A word of warming: Call the number in the listing when you get there. The door is always locked cause hes out back somewhere. Hell come up and let you in. Dont leave just because the door is locked.

We were so lucky to have visited when we did. The owner was there but wasnt open. He took us on a tour of Memory Lane. This is a hidden gem in Hillsboro.

Have attended a few events that either Carol Estes or others have hosted at his museum. All have been enjoyable and each has had something different on display from the previous event. Looking forward to the Elm Street Rod Run this summer if he puts it on again.

Great place to visit. Just make sure you call the number on the door when you get there! It does not have normal hours, call from your cell and someone will let you in. Or even better make an appointment, its well worth the visit.
