Volo Auto Museum - Worth a Visit?

Monday July 13, 2009
Heath Ledger Truck Dark KnightAny parent who sticks their two young children and their own parents in a car and drives more than an hour to check out an attraction can't help but have at least one question in mind: Will the drive and admission price be worth it?

My answer from a trip to the Volo Auto Museum, which is located northwest of Chicago in Volo, Illinois, is a definite yes. (And, I don't think you have to have kids to enjoy it.) Read more about their pastoral setting, active dealership, and their amazing movie car collection, which included the above pictured truck driven by Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight.
