    My daughter and I visited this museum on a cold rainy day. We were just looking for something to do and this seemed like a good option. I presumed this place would be amazing for antique car buffs, which we are not, but we found it very interesting and the cars were beautiful in their own right. I would not recommend this museum for people who have small children, everything is within touchable reach however, there is no touching allowed. It would be very frustrating with small children who did not understand these boundaries. Thankfully my daughter is old enough and we did enjoy ourselves.

    The National Packard Museum is a great place to learn about the Packard family, businesses, and local history. I learned a lot about this that I didn't know before. It was very interesting to see the vintage automobiles and other products that were made in Warren. I also enjoyed seeing the beautiful cars that Packard produced in the 1920's to the 1950's.

    A great small museum.of interest to anyone into turn of the century cars, industry, personalities or design. A bit cramped which makes picture taking a challenge. But a wonderful place to learn about cars, airplanes and incandescent lights. I will be going back. Easy to find, plentiful parking, friendly staff.

    Perfect venue for Roaring 20s themed wedding. Classic cars inside mixed with a rich history. You will fall in love with this place! The staff is very nice as well, especially Jill.

    This place is packed with information and some really nice old Packard automobiles. I never knew about the early days of Packard but sure learned a lot here. Highly recommended to visit.

    Museum itself is top notch, good and knowledgeable staff, and nice newer building. Its a smaller museum and not all just cars, so it doesn't take more than an hour or an hour and a half at most to go through.

    Barb gave us an overview of the museum's layout and a short yet informative history lesson of the Packard family prior to beginning our self guided tour. She was awesome! The museum itself is set up nicely with short videos and a great array of cars. We loved it!

    Nice display of Packard vehicles and the family history of the Packards. The early cars were built in Warren. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Great collection of automobiles from the early 1900's . The family believed in this so strong that the name will always be remembered.

    Was pleasantly surprised at the size of this museum and it's content. Not only did it have a variety of old Packard cars, it also had a exhibit of motorcycles called roll your own which will be running through May 22nd. The exhibit features 30 different bikes assembled in a salute to the men and women whose Hands-On efforts preserve motorcycle history. It was fascinating to read about them and see the workmanship on the bikes. the representative working at the museum gave us a great intro to the history of the Packard family and the cars and other items that the Packard Brothers invented and patented

    We shared a beautiful, informative and entertaining 2.5 hours at the Packard Museum a few weeks ago. Other reviews stated the museum was small and takes about an hour. We were thrilled at the display of vehicles and knowledge offered by the staff. A great “field trip!”

    The Lincoln Highway Tour continues… we hit this gem up in Warren, PA and who would of thought the guys who started Packard Motors were from Warren?! The staff were very friendly and gave us the abbreviated tour notes. They have a nice collection of Packards and told all the firsts of this brand of auto. It’s a quick informative stop. We enjoyed and highly recommend!

👍👍 Tucked in an upscale Warren neighborhood near schools, this park has a nice flat walking/biking/ rollerblading path, lots of picnic tables, a large canopy, and a really great playscape. Also boasts a challenge fitness course. Lovely place to have a picnic 4 seasons.
