AACA Museum

The Antique Auto Museum at Hershey is dedicated to the celebration, preservation, education, and display of the American Motor Vehicle history that provides value for our members, hobbyists, and the public. The museum broke ground in October 2002.

Current Exhibit: Truckin’ The American Pickup (Now through April 30th, 2008)

Few things are more American than the pickup truck. Today it sits in suburban driveways, urban job sites and rural farmyards. It’s a true AUV, an “American utility vehicle.”

The pick up truck was born in America. It traces its genealogy back to the turn of the twentieth century, when the automobile was in its infancy and trucks were little more than heavy motorized freight wagons.

On their web page, you will find information about:
  • Exhibitions past, current and upcoming and the permanent collection
  • Calendar of Events
  • Educational Programs being Offered by the Museum
Be sure to visit their on-line store full of all sorts of car related items and gifts.
