Lonely Planet review for Larz Anderson Auto Museum & Park
Larz and Isabel Anderson, a high-society socialite couple, bought their first automobile in 1899: a Winton Runabout. It was the first of 32 autos that they would purchase over the next 50 years. When one car would become obsolete, it would retire to the carriage house, forming the foundation for ‘America’s oldest motorcar collection.’ Fourteen of the 32 originals are a part of the current collection, which is still housed in the carriage house on the grounds of the estate (now Larz Anderson Park). A walking tour of the park allows visitors to discover what these grounds were once like. Take bus 51 from the Forest Hill or Reservoir T station.
