"National Automobile Museum showcases legendary automobiles from the late 19th century and the entire 20th century. Many of the cars are from the estate of late casino owner William F. Harrah, and the exhibit is often referred to as The Harrah Estate. The museum has over 240 eye-popping cars with authentic street scenes and sounds, and the facades bring displays to life. The museum has collections of over 200 vehicles distributed across four rooms. Gallery one shows automobiles produced in the 1890s and 1900s, Gallery two exhibits cars from the 1910s through the 1930s, Gallery three from the 1930s to the 1950s, and Gallery four shows automobiles from 1950. Gallery 4 also features race boats. NAM is a place where time, culture, beauty, history, human invention, ingenuity, and frivolity merge to fascinate visitors in the form of cars. The National Automobile Museum also provides theater presentations, event space, and educational and STEM learning opportunities. The museum offers free admission for members and children aged five and under.
