About

Located in a former Chevrolet dealership dating back to the 1930s, this 13,000-square-foot, locally owned museum is full of antique automobiles, gas station pumps, store signs, road maps, license plates, and thousands more items of automobile memorabilia. It is said to have the most complete collection of West Virginia licenses.

The Cliff Museum of Car Memorabilia is the private collection—and lifetime passion project—of Cliff and Sue Weese, who charge no admission fee for you to stop by and view their museum. (They do ask that you call ahead.)
