Why locals recommend it

With 1.6 million visitors a year, this is one of the state’s major attractions and it’s easy to see why. It's a jam-packed, awe-inspiring place. You can see the 1896 Ford Quadricycle and the first 1965 Ford Mustang, sit inside the bus on which Rosa Parks was arrested, and savor my favorite exhibit: a 1950s-era Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Go early and spend the entire day. I'll go in the morning and be startled when the announcement is made that they'll be closing in 15 minutes and I've only seen half of what I wanted to see. It's just a fascinating place and a wonderful reminder of how much ingenuity came out of America.
