A fun place to visit if you have any love for history or trucks in general. To begin with they play you a movie that tells you an in depth history of tow trucks then your allowed thru an area filled with all sorts of different trucks, then a hall of drivers past, you exit into a kids area where children can operate a small wrecker boom. My son loved it and if we return to Chattanooga anytime soon I would love to visit again.
Good place to take kids so they can learn some respect for other professions.
Very nice exhibits and friendly staff! Even a working kid's tow truck! Don't miss this little gem!
Yes, a smaller museum, but it does have a number of interesting exhibits (as long as motoring, there has been a need for help and tows at times).
Very educational. An incredible collection of antique equipment coupled with knowledgeable staff made it a fantastic day to hang out, take it all in and learn
People overlook the roadway Heros. While I do not operate these vehicles, they are as important as patrol cars, fire trucks, and ambulances. As an emergency service worker, I have had too depend on these folks to help me save lives. 99% of the time they are not needed till after everyone has received treatment, 1% of the time I have to have a tow vehicle to do my job. And they always step up and save the day. They are the silent hero's of transportation. Thank you driver/operators for what y'all do. Nothing but respect from me.
As for the meusem, great example of the start of towing. And thank you for the memorial wall of fallen operators.
