Calling all Gearheads, Engineers, Techies and Car Gurus
Our new audio tour has a technical slant sure to satisfy even the savviest, detail-oriented enthusiasts.
Have you visited the museum lately? Spend a morning or afternoon with us and learn even more about the cars in our collection, with prerecorded content provided by board member Steve Cook, who has spent decades (if not a lifetime) studying and driving cars such as these. His descriptions of the cars themselves and the companies behind the cars will render you with insight aplenty.
This new technical tour can be accessed onsite with your phone's camera, and the tour is included with your museum admission. No special skills, apps, or equipment needed. Simply focus your phone camera on the QR code and voila! A website link appears, which you will follow to our technical tour. From there, pick and choose cars that interest you, or follow the cars in chronological order to learn of the many fascinating developments that occurred early on at the dawn of the automobile age.
With two carefully curated audio tours for your enjoyment, you'll never run out of reasons to visit the museum.
On Saturday, February 22nd at 6:00 pm, Broadway "Edutainer" Ellen Katz invites us to Rendezvous with Hamilton. . .the musical, that is!
