Upcoming Shows & Details:
The Pennsylvania State Police Museum stories one of the nation’s oldest law enforcement organizations through photographs, videos, uniforms, and evidence from the state’s most notorious criminal cases. Among their collection is a 1962 Harley Davidson Duo-Glide and a 1924 Model T which were used as part of the State Police Rodeo (Yes, you read that right!). Outside the museum you can peek inside three patrol cars including a 1973 Plymouth Fury II with a blue/yellow paint job that proved to be too flashy and was only used one year. You’ll also find a 1991 Ford Crown Victoria and a 1995 Chevrolet Caprice, which has a roof-mounted V-shaped emergency light system which was a departure from the “bubble” light that was used since 1960.
The AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) Museum, Inc. is a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum filled with breathtaking collection of vintage cars, buses, and motorcycles available year-round for your viewing pleasure! Shift into reverse as you explore the bygone eras of automobiles. Their oldest cars date back to the turn of the 20th century through to the mid-century classics that traveled Route 66. AACA Museum has the world’s largest collection of Tucker Automobiles and artifacts. If you recall your automotive history, just 51 Tuckers were built by hand in Chicago in the 1940s. Their collection also includes a number of rotating “celebrity vehicles” including Whitney Houston's 1986 Rolls Royce limousine, the shiny red Ferrari from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and cars used in the filming of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.
The State Museum of Pennsylvania features a variety of vintage vehicles including a 1916 Ford Model T in their lobby, a 1905 AutoCar Roadster in their Made in PA section, and even a 1910 General Vehicle Co. Ice Truck in their Age of Innovation gallery. If you traveled the Pennsylvania Turnpike to visit us, you’ll enjoy learning about the history of this superhighway that revolutionized travel within Pennsylvania and helped link the nation through transportation. In addition to their tribute to transportation, the State Museum has three floors of exhibits on history, science, archaeology, ecology, geology, and more!
