About Wisconsin Automotive Museum

This private nonprofit museum in Hartford displays well over one hundred classic and vintage vehicles along with related artifacts. Its exhibits rotate, and it holds the largest group of Kissel luxury cars, which were built locally between 1906 and 1931. Visitors can also see a Nash display, a regional short track racing hall of fame exhibit, and a 1913 Soo Line steam locomotive. Both floors are wheelchair accessible, and the museum runs a speaker series.
