Vacation Memories Begin with Old Car Show

Now making its debut at the Versailles Area Museum is our historic travel/vacation display of the 20th Century. From vintage car parts to local garage memorabilia, to antique camping and picnic gear and all those souvenirs that made our memories so sweet we’ve got it all. This is a great new display about summer life in the last century.

“Dr. on Call” is another new display featuring items on loan from several area Doctors in the last century, giving us a peek at medical care that included house calls!

New displays are popping up all the time and with the Versailles All Class Reunion at the end of August, additional school spirited displays will be showing up “On the Street Where You Lived”. If you have items to lend (especially looking for a 1950 era juke box) contact the museum at 526-4222 and someone will contact you.

To get our new travel display kicked off right we will be hosting several historic automobiles on our lawn this Sunday, July 27th (weather permitting) during regular museum hours from 1to 4 p.m. Why not stop by and enjoy? If you’d like to bring by your special old car everyone is welcome and you should arrive by 12:30 p.m.
