        THE COLLECTION ON PALMETTO

        Our Collection

        Observe the beauty and power of early twentieth century automotive design and engineering. From the  fist modern car, the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen, to the 1952 Allard J2X, the British car with an American engine, we've  got unique cars here. But vintage automobiles are just the beginning. Experience live steam and discover how our country steered bravely toward industry on the wheels of innovation. 

        Our Programs

        Teachers, drive into a world of hands-on excitement with one of our education programs. Your students can build an electric circuit, race a solar-powered car, participate in an assembly line or ride on a 1/8th scale steam train. Programs meet Florida Standards in Science and Social Studies.

        Our Mission

        It is the mission of The Collection on Palmetto Foundation to increase  understanding about the amazing progress made in engineering in factory and field power, along with automotive transportation, which occurred during the early 20th century.
