The Building
Located in the Strip District, the center was built in 1996 from the renovated Chautauqua Lake Ice Company building. It houses a good-sized collection of vintage vehicles in the old garage hall, including a Conestoga wagon, fire engine, trolley and more.

Rosie, Vicky, Optimus Prime, Spokesbot
At the entrance you may be greeted by the museum's "Spokesbot," a walking-talking robot who can provide you with all sorts of historical information. Evidently, the robot is a sass-talker, so don't be shocked if he tells you to find it yourself.
