    If you're looking for something to do in German Village and you love cars, this is the place to go. I recommend you to call, since it's by appointment. They have cars from the 40', '50 & 60'. Also plates from different states and other countries... I found one of Puerto Rico! The host guide you and talks about every car they have, and kindly answer questions if you have any particular doubt.

    What a nice find. One of the owners is the tour guide. This small eclectic collection is a great way to spend a few hours. License plate history is very interesting.

    The owner was very kind and helpful, he gave the history of the cars, and it's a wonderful place to visit. Make sure you call ahead because it's a privately owned collection and it's not staffed around the clock.

    We took a family trip to see Steve's car collection. He was very entertaining and great with the family children.

    My nephew and great nephew both loved this private collection of all original classics. The owner who gave us the private tour was amazing with my almost 6yr old great nephew keeping him engaged as we learned about all the vehicles and the extensive license plate collection. It was a wonderful day.

    Brought Cub scout troop and everyone had a great time. One of the owners met us there and gave a tour of all the cars and license plate collection. Very knowledge and friendly.

    Steve gave a wonderful tour. Full of knowledge and fun trivia. Took my dad who used to be in a car club in Omaha and is a car fanatic. He was visiting us in Columbus from Denver, and this was the perfect day trip down to German Village. The Wagner-Hagans Auto Museum is very clean and full of history. The three of us had a really nice time.

    This guy Steve Wagner was so rude! Wanted to schedule a appointment, but he was so rude on the phone we decided not to go. Don't need to waste my time with people like that. Travel 30 minutes to see the museum, did not know we had to schedule a appointment (my fault did not see the full website) to see the museum so when we called he was so rude. So we did not go. Be careful with this attraction. 😠

    Awesome place to visit, loved seeing the older style of automobiles, the antique military vehicles was my favorite section, I got to take home a Kentucky license plate. I definitely will visit again

    Family had a blast touring the facility with Steve. He was gracious enough to meet us there on a Sunday afternoon, with only a days notice. Very cool local gem.

    This was a very unique experience as museums go, and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. We went with our son and daughter-in-law, along with 4 grandkids, and everyone stayed entertained. Great selection of cars and one of a kind things to see. You have to call for an appointment, and Steve the owner will meet you and conduct a personal tour. You won't be disappointed!

    We had a great time visiting and seeing this private collection. The owner is Wonderful!! A must see while you're in town!

  • 5/5 sabreen m. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience and learned so much I did not know and this is coming from someone that’s not a car fanatic. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Michael C. 2 years ago on Google
    This was an amazing experience the owner was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet with to see his very extensive collection of classics my father loved it!!!

    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the one old Ford, with rumble seat, had some trash in it. A car museum should have vehicles that are clean and uncluttered. They have some very nice cars and war memorabilia. Also historical items on the walls. I remember back when you got new license plates every year. It’s nice to have a nice museum like this in Columbus!

    I've heard of this place but this was the first visit. For a small business he had a nice selection of old cars. Call ahead because it isn't always open. If your in the area it's a nice thing to stop and see.

  • 5/5 William Y. 1 year ago on Google
    The co-owner who conducted the tour was very helpful. They have a very nice display my favorite car was the '58 Edsel.

  • 5/5 Phillip B. 1 year ago on Google
    A small private collection of curated pieces. Owned by two car lovers you'll get a personalized tour of the small collection and since they wheel and deal the collection changes regularly.
