It’s been ages since we’ve been to the Volo Auto Museum with my three kids. I’ve heard they have had tons of changes so it was about time we stop by again. Highlights: Release pent up energy. The minute they saw the playground in front of the museum, they couldn’t help but run to it. Besides the playground they have a wood vehicle structure with slide, a buggy, fire truck, and a few cars.

      After 56 years in business, the Volo Auto Museum will embark on a new project in 2017 — starring in a television show. William Grams purchased the property for $21,000 in 1960 and opened a junk and antique resale shop. His sons, Greg and Bill Grams, worked on old cars whenever they could.
