Tucked away behind construction on Indiana Street is a collection of over 100 cars, some over 100 years old. The collector of these cars is none other than Clive Cussler.

Cussler was a best-selling author with over six dozen books, primarily writing adventure and thriller stories. Though Cussler passed away in 2020, his legacy lives on, partially through his museum.
Though Cussler began collecting cars in the 1970s, it wasn’t until 2005 that the museum opened.
“My mother and I approached him about opening it up to the public because he had over 100 cars, and they're so fascinating,” Amie Knutson, Cussler’s granddaughter, said. “We thought it'd be neat to open up to the public and let people come see them.”
