A proud Smithsonian Affiliate. The AACA Museum, Inc., located in Hershey, PA, displays vintage automobiles in unique scenes and settings! Visitors can stroll through eight decades in time while traveling from New York to San Francisco. It’s a trip down memory lane recalling the cars of the past. A trip to the Museum is a journey of discovery and enjoyment for the whole family. The Museum’s origina

l and restored vintage vehicles are displayed in elaborate scenes that bring the history of the automobile to life. From an old-time machine shop in turn-of-the-century New York to the asphalt apron of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, the Museum exhibits invite visitors to move through time on a tour from the automobile’s blacksmith shop beginning to a time when the car was king. Highlights include the The Cammack Gallery, themed featured exhibits, the Museum of Bus Transportation, and signature events. The Cammack Gallery features the world’s largest collection of Tucker automobiles and related artifacts. The Cammack Tucker Collection is a permanent exhibit in the Gallery that displays three Tucker ’48 automobiles, the factory Tucker test chassis, hundreds of engineering drawings, original Tucker parts, and several experimental engines. The Tucker ’48 vehicles include Tucker #1001 – the first “production” prototype, Tucker #1022 – Mr. Cammack’s first Tucker, and Tucker #1026 – the only surviving Tucker with an automatic transmission. A total of 51 Tuckers were built by hand in Chicago, of which 47 are known to still exist. In main gallery, themed changing exhibits showcase short-term displays that range from Model T’s to Muscle Cars. Recent exhibits include "Studebaker Cool," "Yeah, It's got a Hemi!" "Age of Aquarius," and "Keep on Truckin'." The rotunda features a historical array of hood ornaments, bus transportation memorabilia and motorbikes. The lower level galleries reveal travel-themed spaces including the Motorbike Gallery, functioning model trains, and the 'Flo In' restored 1941 Valentine Diner (relocated from Wichita, Kansas). It’s a walk-in time capsule from a time when a dime bought a cup of coffee and service with a smile. The lower level is also home to America's largest collection of buses under one roof. The Museum of Bus Transportation, now a part of the AACA Museum, Inc., displays dozen of buses and an illustrated timeline tracing bus transportation history from the days of crank starts and wicker seats to full-sized motorcoaches complete with uniformed hostesses.

Our Story

At the AACA Museum Inc. in Hershey, PA, our goal is to deliver a world-class automotive experience through innovative and interactive exhibits that appeal to all ages and illustrate the historical evolution and potential future impacts of one of the most culturally defining innovations of modern times. Visitors stroll through eight decades in time while traveling from New York to San Francisco. It’s a trip down memory lane and across the USA as decades of motoring experiences come to life.

In addition to the Museum's extensive collection of original and restored cars, buses, motorcycles, there are hands-on, interactive displays designed for visitors of all ages. From a belt-powered machine shop from turn-of-the-century New York to the asphalt apron of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, the Museum’s Sea to Shining Sea exhibit moves visitors through time. Join us and experience the automobile’s blacksmith shop beginnings to the time and place where the car was king.

And that’s just the beginning ...
