Hickory Corners is a small community, northeast of Kalamazoo. It is home to the Gilmore Car Museum and most recently the National Miniatures Trust Museum, located on the grounds of the car museum.
The Gilmore Car Museum was founded in 1966 by Donald S. Gilmore, an antique car collector and philanthropist. The Museum features over 200 antique, classic and collector cars that span a 100 year period. The exhibits are housed in nine restored historic Michigan barns with such unusual vintage vehicles as an 1899 Locomobile as well as early steam, electric and gasoline powered cars.
