"Fun with the Family"
This museum is the oldest automobile museum in America, established by the late W. Emmert Swigart in 1920. William E. Swigart Jr. continued the collection upon his father’s death in 1949. The Swigart collection emphasizes the era when America was first becoming a mobile society. Featured cars include its newest acquisition, a 1909 Overland; a 1900 Winton; a 1904 Rambler; and the only remaining Carroll. Other highlights include two Tuckers and Herbie, the “Love Bug.” About thirty-five cars from the collection of 200 are on display at any given time. Supporting these is an outstanding collection of license plates and name plates. Children will enjoy seeing the exhibits of antique toys, trains, and bicycles. In August the museum and the local chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America sponsor the Swigart Museum Meet.
