If you're in the area you must stop and fill-up at the Hemmings Full Serve station. Good old time service with a smile. Go inside to get some nice refreshments. I had a great smoothie for the road. They have a lot of great shirts,hats, models, and anything auto related. Their car museum is in the back and I got... More

We were walking around town and decided to visit Bennigton Museum..Walking along, I saw Hemmings News Building then saw the Filling station. Prices are resonable for hats, t-shirts, etc. I asked how to get to Bennington Musem,... More

As a classic car fan, I was thrilled to see this place right across from the last chance motel where we ended up on our last night of our holiday. The gal at the counter of Caffeine Alley welcomed my dog and I into the store. It had lots of swag - hats, shirts, tee-shirts, jackets - at reasonable prices,... More

If you need a gift for a car enthusiast, they'll have something here. Worth a 10 minute walk through. They sell gas too, but you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

Service station made to look like something from the 50's, inside is a gift shop. Car museum next door was closed during our visit.

Very pleased to find Hemmings Motor News. Even though the museum was closed, the owner gave us a private tour. He showed our kids how the old engines worked and even took a family photo in an old motor coach! The kids were fascinated by the old cars and climbed in car after car to have their picture made.

Stopped in while in the area for a Hemmings show in Saratoga Springs. They have a great collection of old vehicles and many things of interest to car junkies. The gentleman in the museum is very knowledgeable about all the various vehicles and things n display. We had a great time just talking about cars and the old days. I... More
