**Most must see museum in Wyoming. The array of antique autos is super impressive.. Every second of the walkthrough was visually stimulating. Antique autos with popping colors all over. I didn’t even grow up in the 50s but felt a huge wave of nostalgia with how each room is set up. You feel like you are experiencing it exactly as it was. It’s crazy. Also, there’s a store attached with vintage records / books / trinkets that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Don’t forget your ice cream with a shot of espresso on the way out.

This was the best display of antique autos and stuff I have seen in a long time. A personal collection gone wild. They have restored autos, storefronts and the period merchandise to go with it all. Neon everywhere. Just GO!

What a great hidden gem. I would say it’s the best thing to do in Gillette. Love talking with the staff and owners. They are very passionate about saving our history. If you like old neon signs they have saved many. We will be back!

Having stumbled upon the ad in a periodical we decided to cut up our daily mileage with a break. So glad we did, this is a little diamond unfortunately passed by thousands heading to their next campsite or overnight. Walking thru one is assaulted by a thousand memories of ones youth, remembering the old style gas pumps, logos by the hundreds, cars and trucks reaching thru a variety of years brought together for a single day, household items, and long forgotten candies. Drop by for a quick stop and stay for hours, you will get lost in the memories....

Amazing place. It has really cool cars and lots of vintage vignettes set up as well. Like beauty parlor,general store,train and mining. It even has old movie theater with old movies playing. There are areas set up for kids to play in.

I visited various parts of Wyoming for vacation, and while looking at spots to see, I noticed this place close to Devils Tower on Google maps. Being an automotive enthusiast, I definitely wanted to check it out. I was honestly blown away by this place when I came in and did the tour. Ive been to automotive museums in Detroit and various other parts of Michigan, and this place gives them a run for their money. The amount of history, quality and variety thats jam packed in this place is incredible. The staff are super friendly, and the gift shop is huge. A lot of time and effort went into this place, and Im glad I came here.

The staff was so nice! They have some pretty cool antiques. I love how the museum was broken up into the general store, mechanics, soda shop, ect. Lots of fun stuff & a couple things for the kids to play with and check out too. Definitely recommend & will stop again next time we come through.

Interesting. But over-priced for what it is. A collection--cluttered--of old stuff that makes you say I had that. Or I remember seeing that. A couple of interesting old cars; not sure how original they are, but cool to look at. So its kind of fun, but theres no explanation of anything, why or how its there, etc.

Stopped by this business, very impressed with the collection of car memorabilia. There is a antique store on one side and the museum on the other. I’d say an hour is reasonable to look around. Museum is $8 to enter. Very nostalgic.

This place is amazing! Time stands still as soon as you walk in. Our favorite parts are the cars they have in their auto museum, and the staff is always really friendly and helpful. They have early Americana items that make you want to time travel, and their antique store is the cleanest one weve ever been in. They were also recently voted one of the best businesses of the interstate.

Review №62

Came across this place completely by accident — I don’t think I’ve ever been more pleasantly surprised by such an amazing museum! Old Americana, vintage cars, gas station pumps, and my lord: the neon signs! Before I found Frontier Relics, I honestly had no intent of purposefully visiting Gillette again, but this place genuinely has me itching to return as soon as possible. Frontier Relics & Auto Museum has my highest regards, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone travelling on I-90, or even anyone who’s nearby!

This place was amazing. My daughter said the coffee was excellent. Fun candies and great curated collection of antiques and repurposed items. The staff is so friendly. The museum is unbelievable. Just the right size. So much to see but not overwhelming. So much nostalgia even my teenage daughter loved it. I cant wait to bring more family to see it. A great little main street area is a bonus.

Fabulous place. Museum has a variety of items have never seen before, and we have seen lots. Loved the pedal horse . And there are so many gas pumps in perfect restoration it made me green with envy. Lots of signs everywhere. There was a 52 Ford brought back memories as well as Hudson. A must see.

Wow I was really impressed. The museum has an amazing display of not only automobile related items including some mint Hudson cars but also a wide selection of other items including vintage household, western and barber shop. Spent over an hour there and still did not see it all. Highly recommended.
