Forney Transportation Museum

Denver


This fascinating museum exhibits antique vehicles of all types – cars, motorbikes, bicycles, tricycles, railway engines and rolling stock, fire engines, airplanes and more. Even if you’re not an automotive aficionado, the shifting industrial design over the years is interesting. Among many highlights is Amelia Earhart’s 1923 Kissel Speedster in stunning canary yellow.
