LPetit Jean State Parkocated on Petit Jean Mountain, The Museum of Automobiles was founded in 1964 by the late Arkansas Governor Winthrop Rockefeller.  It housed his collection of Antique & Classic Automobiles until 1975, when the Collection was sold, and the building and grounds donated to the State of Arkansas, Department of Parks.

A not-for-profit corporation was formed and reopened the Museum in 1976, with cars on loan from collectors around the country.  During the following years, the display was enlarged and upgraded, including a permanent collection of thirty automobiles, donated by supporters in Arkansas and surrounding states.  Also on display is an Antique Gun Collection and Automobile related memorabilia.
