The Larz Anderson Auto Museum is located in the original Anderson Carriage House located on the grounds of Anderson estate, now Larz Anderson Park, in Brookline, Massachusetts.  The Carriage House was constructed in 1888 and was inspired by the French Chateau “Chateau de Chaumont-Sur-Loire.”

Today it is on the National Register of Historical Places and considered a landmark within the greater and collector car communities.  The building was constructed to house a working stable, and later, the routine maintenance of the Andersons’ growing car collection.

After the death of Isabel Anderson, the collection was entrusted to the Veteran Motor Car Club of America, which first opened the Carriage House as a museum in 1949.  Today we continue this tradition by offering new exhibits, educational forums and an archive of early automotive material housed in the Joseph S. Freeman Research Library, and offering lawn events throughout the year.

The grounds of the Larz Anderson Park include an incredible skyline view of Boston.  There is a romantic pond built by Isabel Anderson and acres of open space in which to relax and enjoy the outdoors.  There are walking paths around the Park and an ice rink open to the public during the winter season. You can enjoy a visit not only to the museum but to the picturesque setting left by the Anderson family.
