I didnt know much about the Studebaker company but I found this museum really interesting. The horse and buggies that the company started with were neat to see. I really liked the 1930s President series cars they had on display. Some of the later models were not my cup of tea haha. I enjoyed reading about the huge testing area that they had nearby. I thought it was super interesting that they had an all electric car in 1911 and an 8 cyl engine in 1928. There were numerous other facts I read that jumped out to say they were way before their time. Its too bad they couldnt continue Mr. Studebakers company well after his death. Really enjoyed learning about this American history.

This is the place if you love studebakers you wont be disappointed

This was a unique little find. We only had an hour to look at everything and I wish I had more time. We didnt know there was an upstairs so make sure you visit both levels.

This museum was very impressive. I was amazed at the selection of early wagons all the way up to the more modern Hawk. The car selection was extensive. The also had examples of what they made during WW1 and WW2. The museum is on 3 floors and there was a gift shop also.

A great place to visit to become aware of Studebakers place in American history, which is more than just automobiles. I was surprised to see the carriage that Lincoln rode in to the Ford Theatre that fateful night. Very nice staff. They even have THE Packard Predictor show car.

Went to a small wedding there. It was our first time there. Very nice and interesting place. Can walk thru while your at the wedding to see cars, all open during reception. Very nice.

A very nice collection of vintage Studebaker vehicles. A must see.

This is a wonderfully curated walk back in time, exploring the story of a true legend of American manufacturing. Highly recommend. Dont miss the lower level gallery!

So different from when here decades ago. Sorry I missed exhibits in basement

First time here. Came for the Cars and Coffee meet and had the opportunity to go through the museum. Very nicely laid out and have some beautiful vehicles.

Great history lesson. Worth a visit.

I was in town for work and had some time to relax so checked this out! It was very awesome to get to check out the local history and the huge impact it made from Studebaker! I only wish i had time to really get to look at everything! And the staff was amazing! Everyone from the Front desk who helped guide me Through the experience and saved me money! (AAA member discount!) all the way to the very unique/antique gift shop that has some really great beautiful pieces! I will be coming back with the family and check out all of the museums in the area!

Took my husband here for our 30th anniversary. My dad is an auto body mechanic. I grew up around classic cars all my life. My husband loves them as well, so this was a perfect place for us. I will include alot of photos, especially for those of you who would like to see it, but arent able to get out. I hope you enjoy.

Fantastic, what a company, so much more than just a car company.

The Studebaker Museum have a big collection. You get many information about cars in different periods. All cars are is in good condition and are very beautiful.In lower level some car are on double storage and you cant see very well, this is a shame because they really need to be appreciated.the course may last from 2 to 2:30. The price is very affordable and also has souvenir shop and some antiques.

Its my second time here. This time I brought my boyfriend and his son this time. We enjoyed learning about the area and the automotive industry more. Also the gardens were beautiful.

Wonderful place! The family and I really enjoyed it.

Interesting to see! Beautiful cars.$10 bucks for Adults.Clean decent museum for an hour fun, 3 level filled with classic cars.

Great place for car history! Very well put together and LOTS to look at.

Had an awesome time here at the Studebaker Museum today.My Fiance is a total car junkie, and wanted him to see this place while on Vacation. We both enjoyed the whole day here. Spent about 2 hours here taking in all of the amazing displays. I absolutely loved the presidential display that is here. All the vehicles are absolutely beautiful and have so much history behind them. Its defiantly a stop to be had while traveling through Indiana.

Very nice facility, all very well displayed and explained. Would recommend.

Very nice place... great wedding venue

I love them old Studebakers. That must be what heaven looks like

A lot more than I expected. Great displays, history and cars. Highly recommend

Great place to check out. 3 floors of history.

3 floors of Studebaker cars and history. I live in South Bend and had no idea just how much there is to see here. You dont have to be a car nut or Studebaker owner to enjoy the facility. Very clean and well staffed. Its worth traveling to check it out for a couple hours.

Excellent collection of cars and wagons showing their history.

Awesome place, great customer service, everyone was super friendly.

Fantastic display of American history as represented by the long history of Studebaker. The cars are beautiful . Military discounts .

The museum is full of items ranging from presidential horse drawn wagons to military relics from the 40s. Even my wife liked it!!

One of the absolutely BEST automobile museums in the entire country. Even if you are not a Studebaker fan, but enjoy cars in general, there is something for you here. Also, if you have an interest in Industrial Design, the strong connection between Studebaker and the Father of Industrial Design, Raymond Loewy, will surely strike your fancy.

Very informative and lots of vehicles to see. Spent over two hours looking at everything.

It is a fantastic place to explore, the assistants are very helpful and informative. There is a gift shop that has both informative and historical items for sale. There are 3 floors of exhibits to see as well as a whole other side full of Oliver information and historical views!

Fun place to visit. Great cars. The oliver mansion was unexpectedly fun tour.

This is a wonderful museum of automotive history Commerce sponsored by the foundation of the Studebaker corporation. It is extremely well done, very professional in its scope and execution. Any car aficionados will enjoy a visit to this place. I did!

Awsome museum, glad i was here, lot of beauty in here, loved the design of late 30’s and 40’s

Wonderful displays and friendly staff to answer any questions.

A great blend of the history of Studabaker and the local history. Its worth getting the full ticket for both.

This museum is amazing! I learned so much about the Studebaker company. There were so many other cars there that were major steps in the auto industry. Many prototype and one off cars. Stairs and an elevator to all three floors. Good sized gift shop that isnt super expensive.

The best place to see a slice of automobile history.

Very nice place clean and helpful staffCool place

It is a great place for the family. Its never overcrowded so you can take your time and enjoy. There are several interactive areas for the kids...even a mechanic area where they can replace the muffler,change tires, and so much more. The only down side is it is a little exspensive.

I love this museum! I come back to check it out every couple of years. Great displays and historical content. Check out both museums while youre here, its like $15 per person.

Great collection of cars from this once great historic American Brand. A poignant reminder that complacency is the nail that seals the coffin of companies who fail to listen to the dynamic needs of the customer. Tone deafness leads to obsolescence which leads to brand death.

Nice museum with a very knowledgeable curator. Worth checking out for the history even if you arent particularly into cars.

Love this place. Three levels of Studebakers and a cars that changed the world exhibit.

The place was pretty cool. If you love older vehicles with style..then its a must see.

A MUST See in South BendTheres more than just the Studebaker to see at the museum. There are traveling and regional exhibits too. Everything was very well displayed, some are even hands on.Two other displays were on Tiffany Glass and the womans (All American Girls Baseball League) baseball of the 40s and 50s.Spend the day and enjoy yourself!Handicap friendly.Ample parking.Family and children friendly.Senior and Military discounts.

This place is just cool.

Really a nice history of Soith Bends automobile Studebaker.

Pretty small but fun and informative museum!

Was a awesome experience. Learned alot about the Studebakers, and enjoyed all of the cars and horse drawn carriages.

Very interesting museum with a massive collection of antique vehicles spanning many decades, from horse-drawn carriages to roadsters. Definitely worth a visit.

Not really my thing but my husband was very excited. All of the cars are well maintained and gorgeous.

Great place to see the history of Studebaker!

This place is fun for all ages. Hands on section for younger age children.

Visited the museum while in town for a hockey tournament and really enjoyed it! Lots of vehicles and history in this building to look at, the displays are nicely laid out and very informative. Everything is very clean and well taken care of. The staff/volunteers at the museum were great and had lots of information. One staff member asked where we were from, and was able to make a connection to one of the exhibits in the museum, which was the last Studebaker car manufactured in Windsor, Ontario. Enjoyed visiting and is a must see in South Bend.

Good museum you can see it all in a short if you need to.

Good museum, Nice car, Nice personal, I like at this place.

Loved the history of wagon making through cars. Great museum.

Great museum! Loved the cars and trucks - didnt know about some of the styles!! To imagine it all started from a brothers wagon business in South Bend, IN. Check it out when you are in the area. Handicapped friendly and parking at door.

Had a fabulous time here with my son! So many great historical and interactive displays, we couldve spent all day here!

Really great museum. I liked how they integrated much of the history into the architecture of the building. Each room was impressive. I would suggest anyone in the area visiting Notre Dame stop by!

Enjoy the history of the early studebakers making wagons and then transitioning to automobiles. A lot of history here. Museum was well worth the visit. A lot of cars to see.

Great museum love it will go back again.

This place was extremely cool! Definitely a great place to check out!

Great place to spend a few hours. Take a group and get a guided tour.

Really enjoyed this museum. Im happy its local and gives the kids something to learn about instead or traveling hours away.

This museum is a must if you love car history. This place was well worth the money spent to enter. It is very well maintained and plenty of cars to see! The history you learn is phenomenal and well laid out. So glad we took the time.

My husbands company party was at the museum. It does such a nice job hosting events. We love exploring the cars during the party. Its a really nice environment.

I love that the ticket is good for two days. This is one of the most interesting museums I’ve ever been in. Lots of information on the rise and fall and resurgence of industry in the st Joseph river valley.I came just for the Studebaker’s. There is so much more here than I expected. Definitely tour the Oliver mansion.

A GREAT Museum. We stayed in town half a day to see it. Wonderful place to visit. We will return on a future trip.

Great little car museum in South bend with a rich history. 2-3 hours if you take some time to see each car and exhibits in the history museum adjacent to it.

A lovely selection of vintage cars in a unique setting

This an excellent display of a core component of South Bend history. The museum has curated an excellent selection of vehicles and information to walk you through the history of Studebaker. Also, this is an excellent museum for the cost of admission. Dont miss out on this opportunity while you are visiting South Bend!

I loved this museum! Im a huge antique & classic car buff and I was very impressed with the pristine Studebaker collection on display. From the early pioneer wagons to the last car to come out of the Indiana plant, this is a complete history of the Studebaker company. A must see!

Beautiful cars and great history

Interesting history and completed works!

Nice display of Studebakers.

Come a day early sometime for the Notre Dame game and visit this awesome treasure right here in town and then have lunch at one of the cool locale spots in downtown South Bend. This museum isnt huge, but its one of the best places to see a lot of Studebakers as if they were brand new.

Amazing museum to spend the day at. So many cars and carriages to see there, as well as the Olive(r) Mansion on site. The cars they had there were amazing, and had very rare cars that Ive never seen and never dreamed of seeing there that were apart of the Streamlined collection, including a 1935 Stout Scarab. They even have the original carriage that President Lincoln had ridden/drove in to the Ford Theatre as a permanent fixture. Definitely a must go for car enthusiast and history buff alike.

Did not know Studebakers started by making wagons. Very interesting and some cool looking cars too!

Spoke to Abraham. Lincoln. Ghost about. His. Ride

First class and modern museum in the same building as The History Museum and Oliver Mansion. See all three!

Wonderful display of Studebakers. Beautiful mansion. Nice history displays. Great docent Kenny who made our experience superb. Go there if you like cars and history. Stay at the Oliver Inn and eat at the Tippecanoe restaurant. Two other great mansions to enhance your experience. Both have wonderful food.

Its pretty cool, and I recommend going their if you want to get out of the house. Some parts do smell a bit like oil, so if you are sensitive to smells it may be a bit annoying.

This museum is a car enthusiasts dream and even offers interesting tidbits for those not as into cars. The museum starts off with wagons and carriages which is very intriguing to see. They give a lot of interesting facts regarding all the exhibits. Even if youre not a car fan, there are still so many interesting historical facts.

Weve lived in the area for 3 years, and were just now finding the time to visit this gem. I enjoy American history, and the Studebaker National Museum gave me my fill. You will discover products ranging from the buggies pulled by horses in the 19th century to military vehicles still in use today. The price admission is reasonable, and the museum offers a military discount. What a great place to go on a rainy/snowy day!

Fun! Great trip down memory lane. Fascinating history and great displays.

Always have a great time at their annual trivia night. They could not pack us in so tight, though and give groups long tables along the walls to put their snacks on.

Remarkable museum. Sad weve lost this brand.

Worth at least several hours. More than a collection of vintage cars, carriages and wagons. Its a transportation museum and the history of a family and a company.

Great local history lesson in the museum. Very nice facility. Cars and coffee event was a lot of fun too!

Great displays. Well laid out. Clean with a nice little gift shop. Even if you are not a car person its a great place to kill a few hours

Very nice museum. It was quite busy, and had a lot of good history. We were able to visit the studebaker and Native American areas.I would suggest for the Studebaker area that it was a little unclear as to what the correct path through the rows was. This didnt detract from learning about the subject material, however.

Learned a lot about the history of the auto industry in the South Bend area. The cars and exhibits were great. Definitely a place to see in South Bend.

Historical display of Studebaker cars. Their detailed history behind carriage models is neat, especially the Presidential ones, but compared to the Indy 500 museum, this one is certainly lacking.

Fun place to visit and learn.
