 Located in the
North Carolina Homespun Shops area next to the Grove Park Inn
Resort & Spa is the
Estes-Winn Memorial Automobile
Museum. More than twenty restored cars including a 1926 Cadillac, a
1927 La Salle convertible and a 1922 La France fire engine now fill
this building. Greeting you at the door is a 1913 Model T much like
the ones Henry Ford and Thomas Edison traveled to Asheville in
during their stays at the Grove Park Inn. A visit to the Estes-Winn
Museum is to step into the past for a few
hours.
