Robert E. Peterson founded the Peterson Automotive Museum back in 1994. Today it is considered the premier auto museum in the United States, hosting several thousand guests yearly. The Peterson Automotive Museum has made a major effort in the preservation of the history of the automobile and the impact it makes in the United States. This museum consists of four floors of over 300,000 square feet of show room and a collection of more than 150 cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Split into four floors, each floor has its own theme. For example, the first floor touches on the history of the automobile and another offers a look at vintage and rare race cars and motorcycles. This museum will show student groups how much one small part of our lives makes such a large impact on our society.
