I can see why this place is rated so highly. This place is unlike any other museum youre going to visit around the area.To us, is was the perfect place to start a day trip in Bay Shore. The Himes brothers were accomplished racecar drivers back in the day, and have all the memorabilia to prove it.From power cars that they used to race on Long Island race tracks, to championship-winning cars donated by other drivers, and kid-carts that they assembled themselves in their youth, this place has it all. To me, the centerpiece of the collection was a 1900s Penny Farthing bicycle.All in all, this is a fantastic place run by the two brothers.

This place is quite cool, a nice slice of automobile history. A bit off the beaten path though.

The museum is probably one of the coolest places I’ve ever found on Long Island… Met with Marty today and his brother and we got the tour of a lifetime, learned a lot about the racing history of Long Island. These guys are a cornucopia of history. Help with the politicians in the builders guys like Marty are the guys that make Long Island a Memoral place and build history here.

I live 15 minutes away. Been there hundreds of time. I STILL havent seen it all. Marty Himes is a great tour guide. Loves to answer your questions. I cant believe that history or long island auto racing is all in 1 place.

Marty Himes has almost singlehandedly saved and preserved Long Iskand history.I took my nephews for a visit and Marty and his brother regaled us with their knowledge and their passion. It turns out that we had mutual friends and interests. I cant wait to go back.
