Reviews of Wagner-Hagans Auto Museum

Jordan Powell

Awesome old classic cars, almost all original parts. No wait time, but you do need to make an appointment.The owner was super kind and helpful on the facts of all the vehicles. Highly recommend going! 5/5

The owner was very kind and helpful, he gave the history of the cars, and it's a wonderful place to visit. Make sure you call ahead because it's a privately owned collection and it's not staffed around the clock.

Barbara Eckle

My nephew and great nephew both loved this private collection of all original classics. The owner who gave us the private tour was amazing with my almost 6yr old great nephew keeping him engaged as we learned about all the vehicles and the extensive license plate collection. It was a wonderful day.

Kristina Ledford

Family had a blast touring the facility with Steve. He was gracious enough to meet us there on a Sunday afternoon, with only a days notice. Very cool local gem.

Travis Smith

Awesome place to visit, loved seeing the older style of automobiles, the antique military vehicles was my favorite section, I got to take home a Kentucky license plate. I definitely will visit again

If you're looking for something to do in German Village and you love cars, this is the place to go. I recommend you to call, since it's by appointment. They have cars from the 40', '50 & 60'. Also plates from different states and other countries... I found one of Puerto Rico! The host guide you and talks about every car they have, and kindly answer questions if you have any particular doubt.

Brian Erwin

Brought Cub scout troop and everyone had a great time. One of the owners met us there and gave a tour of all the cars and license plate collection. Very knowledge and friendly.

Ronald Compton

Beautiful car collection I was the AAA driver twice actually and they were amazingly nice people

William Yantko

The co-owner who conducted the tour was very helpful. They have a very nice display my favorite car was the '58 Edsel.

Diana Astilby

I've heard of this place but this was the first visit. For a small business he had a nice selection of old cars. Call ahead because it isn't always open. If your in the area it's a nice thing to stop and see.

Phillip B

A small private collection of curated pieces. Owned by two car lovers you'll get a personalized tour of the small collection and since they wheel and deal the collection changes regularly.

James Urzykowski

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the one old Ford, with rumble seat, had some trash in it. A car museum should have vehicles that are clean and uncluttered. They have some very nice cars and war memorabilia. Also historical items on the walls. I remember back when you got new license plates every year. It’s nice to have a nice museum like this in Columbus!

Old Men Hiking (Jeff Gandee)

This was a very unique experience as museums go, and our family thoroughly enjoyed it. We went with our son and daughter-in-law, along with 4 grandkids, and everyone stayed entertained. Great selection of cars and one of a kind things to see. You have to call for an appointment, and Steve the owner will meet you and conduct a personal tour. You won't be disappointed!

LET'S GO BRANDON

To my knowledge, it is a private car museum owned by two life-long friends that have been collecting cars since their early 20's. As of late, these guys have accumulated between 40-60 cars, that are scattered around Columbus. This location holds roughly 20 cars, ranging from mostly old classics to newer sports cars, with the vast majority being mint. I've passed this place so many times in the past and I had always wondered what's inside... especially after seeing the pictures online, and even snapping a few myself as they rotated cars! I noticed the door was open on Labor Day, and I decided to stop in. I spoke briefly with Steve Wagner, and it's clear that they're just two car guys in love with what they do, and in love with these great classics. Their collection is open to all, but only by appointment. Tours are free of charge as far as I'm aware, and they prefer to hold them on the weekends. Contact information is still hard to find, but it is out there. Overall, this is just one of the many gems lying around Columbus, waiting to be discovered! I highly recommend taking some time to stop by, and to hear the stories they have to share!!

Adam Lee

My friend and I stopped here for a tour just trying to kill some time in Columbus. The owner was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and excited to share fun facts about every car he has. It doesn't look like much at a glance, but the cars are gorgeous and the owner is a delightful guide!

sabreen milhem

Had a great experience and learned so much I did not know and this is coming from someone that’s not a car fanatic. Definitely recommend!

Randy Chenault

I called the museum, Steve one of the owners answered. I asked for reservations for my wife and I he said there was an opening we went. Wow, what an experience great collection of license plates, Cars in factory condition some very rare. Also, nice collection of military vehicles and really neat military motorcycles. This shop was amazing and the knowledge I received from Steve was priceless. I would recommend this Classic shop for a great adventure through history.

Joshua D'Atri

Had a great time at the museum. The owner took time out of his day to give us a tour. He was super knowledgeable and had great stories behind his auto collection. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the stories behind the cars as much as the cars themselves.

Kevin Flake

Such a fun place! I'm really glad my group was able to get in today and see all the terrific vehicles. They sure do fit a lot of cars in a small space. That shouldn't keep you from booking an appointment, though. I don't want to ruin the fun so I'll keep my comments about the actual vehicles short. There have not one, but two Edsels! And a car with a record player. Yes, a record player. Vinyl. Go see this place!

Elisa C.

Even when I know nothing about cars, it was still a cool place to visit! Small, but interesting enough. The owner, Steve, was very kind and welcoming. I absolutely recommend it. :)

Tyler Hegamin

No cost, had a great time. Steve is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He loves getting questions

Tim & Sharon Stine

Not really a museum but a couple guys collection.

James Walker

My brother-in-law and myself drove there from Ashland without a reservation and were lucky enough to catch Steve just finishing a tour. We asked if we could look around. Steve finished with the other group and proceeded to give us the most entertaining and informative tour of his collection. He is obviously passionate about his cars and loves sharing that with others. Thanks Steve.

Travis Kohler

Great little bit of history tucked away in Columbus with a private collector who’s done his research and gives awesome little fun facts and trivia questions during the whole walk through. Thank you Steve for the amazing experience. 5/5 would recommend!

Andrew Sauer

Awesome collection of cars. Steve, one of the owners, gives you private tours and does an excellent job of explaining the history and cool facts about his cars. I am not a huge car guy and I loved it.

Steve Wagner and his partner very generously share their love of cars and their collection of over 40 autos and related memorabilia with anyone who makes an appointment to visit. Anyone with a passion for -- or just admiration -- for the great American automobile should visit!

Intersting tour of many things automobile related, a great way of sharing your passion with the world.Steve is very proud of the speeding ticket he received on the autobahn In Germany.

cool place to stop by and spend some time, the guy is nice and full of trivia, you don't need a lot of time but a nice short stop.

Jeff Bowen

Steve is one of my all time favorite car guys and one of the nicest old guys you'll ever come across. Get the tour and eat at one of the awesome restraunts in German Village after.

Jeremy

This is a great place to visit! Call and make an appointment before you go. It's really easy to do. Lots of artifacts from recent auto history...1940s onward.

Jeff Downey

I've never been to this but I'm in my fifties I love old cars I love them all because body they're made different than these if you'd hit if you would hit a new car with an old car the new car you would survive no car you just crunch up but I am an old person in a young person's body I love anything old I love old cars old antiques everything but I would go I would go and get my money to go to the museum I don't know where it's at but it is good to it would be good to go see and take your grandkids or your kids.
