Whether you are a local or visitor, no matter where you are on Cape the Toad Hall is well worth the trip. The collection's owner Bill looks forward to greeting you soon.

Description
The Toad Hall Car Collection started out with a few sports cars housed in a shed behind the Simmons Homestead Inn in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. Over the past dozen years the number of sheds and cars grew and grew. Finally when there were some three dozen cars, the sheds all got tied together and enclosed. Now there are more than 50 inside and another bunch outside that can be driven around. Most are classics from the 50s to the 80s, most are English, and all are red.
If you remember back in your childhood, or maybe more recently, you probably read the book or saw the Walt Disney movie "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame, written back in 1908 about a bunch of animal characters in England in the late 1800s. The leading character was Toad, Lord of Toad Hall. He was totally fascinated by the then new motorcar. And, all of Toad's cars were red too. This same fascination is carried forward today at the Toad Hall Sports Car Collection at the Simmons Homestead Inn in Hyannis Port.
We will make one exception for bored spouses and only charge them $4, and we have chairs for them while waiting for the car nuts to finish up. Then there is an added 'benefit' if you are staying as a guest at the Simmons Homestead Inn. You can get in free! Bring a camera if you want. If you are old enough not to rip things off the dashboard, Bill might let you sit in one of them to bring back the old times. This is a place to enjoy.
