About Roadside America Museum

Located along East Elm Street in Hillsboro, Roadside America Museum invites visitors to take a nostalgic step back in time. Boasting an impressive 4.7-star rating from 242 Google reviews, this quirky gallery is packed with a large and varied collection of memorabilia from the 1940s and 1950s. Guests can explore an eye-catching assortment of vintage treasures that bring back fond childhood memories, including classic jukeboxes, glowing neon signs, and fascinating mid-century relics.

Much of the museum's charm comes from its friendly and knowledgeable owner and curator, who treats the expansive space as a genuine labor of love.

What a hidden gem this place was! We received a tour from the owner/curator and you can tell by his stories this collection has been a labor of love for him. He has a collection of many gorgeous cars of yesteryear (old Pacards, Vettes, various other rides that gearheads love!) He built a general store that has that old-timey feel. There is Buddy Holly's original casket, numerous large statues/figures of popular vintage characters, Elvis, and so much more. If you are a fan of nostalgia from a slightly older era and have an appreciation for old cars this place is a must. CALL THE NUMBER ON THE DOOR FOR THE TOUR!!!!!

The experience was great. Called in to see if they offer the tour and owner said he was giving tour to another group so we went together. We started from the back of the museum and moved to the front. Everything gave me good child hood memory and the owner was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even played music from the juke box. There is plenty to see and some items are for sale.

Really enjoyed our step back in time while visiting Roadside America. His collection of memorabilia is large, varied and very impressive. Many memories brought back. He also restores classic cars which can also be viewed.
