Calling All Car Enthusiasts
If you are a true enthusiast of classic cars, then you should head to West County and visit the Kemp Auto Museum.
The facility offers an exhibition that presents over 40 historically significant and artistically inspired automobiles dating from the turn of the century to the contemporary. The 23,000 square foot gallery presents guests with the opportunity to get up-close and personal with each automobile in a setting that is truly classic!
The Kemp Auto Museum preserves, interprets and exhibits automobiles. The focus is to celebrate and educate the general public, students and enthusiasts on the engineering and design accomplishments each vehicle represents.
The mission of the museum is to display significant automobiles that truly represent the world of motorized transportation. In addition to a permanent collection of vehicles, a variety of special events, charity fundraisers and educational seminars expands the scope of the Museum.
The Kemp Auto Museum is home to one of North America's finest private collections of Mercedes Benz ever displayed in one location.
Creating the exhibit on display has been a 30-year process. It began when Fred M. Kemp, Sr. purchased his first Mercedes. Kemp spent many years researching and acquiring the 40+ rare and classic automobiles currently found in our collection. Autos from all over the world have been brought together and are now showcased in our gallery to learn about and enjoy!
Until 2004 the vehicles were stored at various locations throughout the St. Louis area. It was always a dream of Kemp's to bring all of the automobiles together and develop a museum where the public could enjoy and learn from his collection. In April of 2005 Kemp's dream became a reality as the doors were opened to the museum.
Your family Ford will appreciate the excursion, so head to this exciting facility which is located at 16955 Chesterfield Airport Road in Chesterfield, MO.
