About
STEP INTO THE MUSEUM
A Century of Cars and Culture Just Minutes from Boston
Just a ten-minute drive from downtown Boston, the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in the 64-acre Larz Anderson Park showcases "America’s Oldest Car Collection" in the historic Carriage House. The museum offers engaging attractions, including Lawn Events, family-friendly gatherings, and car history lectures. A visit promises a day of exploration and enjoyment, creating lasting memories.
The Andersons' collection began with an 1899 Winton 4-hp Runabout and grew to include 32 motorcars and horse-drawn carriages. After Isabel Anderson's death in 1948, the collection was entrusted to the VMCCA, forming the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. The museum features exhibits, educational forums, and themed Lawn Events.
