Swigart Museum

The William E. Swigart, Jr. Automobile Museum houses a rotating display from a roughly 150-car collection, with about 30–35 vehicles on exhibit. Founded from W. Emmert Swigart's collection and open at its Route 22 location since 1957, it highlights early automotive history and automobilia.

The museum operates seasonally (Memorial Day weekend through Oct. 31) with daily hours during that period, offers group tours by appointment, and maintains extensive displays including Duesenberg, Tucker, and vintage pedal-car collections.

Start with a concise walkthrough of curated exhibits highlighting early American cars and automobilia.

Look out for:

• Two Tucker automobiles, including the 1947 prototype “Tin Goose”.

• A 1936 Duesenberg 12-cylinder Gentlemen’s Speedster and other prewar rarities.

• Rotating displays from a collection of roughly 150 cars (about 30–35 on view at once).

• Large license-plate, toy and pedal-car collections and period automobilia.

Best way to experience it:

Allow 60–90 minutes to see the exhibit halls, read the historical panels, and visit displays of automobilia. Weekday or early weekend visits during the seasonal opening (Memorial Day weekend–Oct. 31) are best; join a scheduled Kars and Koffee event on Saturday mornings if available for added car-community activity.

• Seasonal public hours: open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Oct. 31.

• Group tours available by appointment; contact the museum to reserve.

• Admission is listed on the official site (adult, senior, child pricing available).

• Location: 12031 William Penn Hwy (US‑22), about 5 miles east of Huntingdon, PA.
