Museum Happenings
September 17, the museum will host the 4th Annual Road Jamboree, an exciting day full of family fun. The Road Jamboree will feature all modes of over-the-road transportation and will host a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. Outdoor activities are FREE and adult museum admission will be discounted.

December 3, the 4th Annual Moonlight Memories Gala will feature an American Bandstand theme and include a Dick Clark look-a-like. Visitors will be able to enjoy the HubCap Café, our 1950's style eatery complete with an authentic 1953 soda fountain, red counter and tables, red vinyl booths and a jukebox playing songs that are sure to bring back memories of cruising the streets of the Lehigh Valley.

 

 

November 25 to December 31, the Train Time Charity Holiday Exhibit will return to the museum. Special days such as Scout Day, Sweet Surprise Day & Young Scientist Day will be highlighted during the duration of the exhibit. This event has always been well received and it once again promises to be a highlight of the holiday season.

 

 

 

 

Discover Lehigh Valley's Allentown Visitor Center Relocates
America On Wheels was recently designated a Discover Lehigh Valley visitor's site. As the City of Allentown continues its efforts to revitalize and one day develop a pedestrian river walk way with a business/retail mix, America On Wheels is proud to be the "first settlers" towards that goal and invite other committed partners join us. After three years of operation we are making great strides in visibility in both the Lehigh Valley and beyond.


Assistant Director of Development Joins Museum Staff
John Moser is a recent addition to the museum staff and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. After a fulfilling career in advertising and public relations, he has been working for non-profits for over 13 years. His professional background is PR but he also possesses experience in sales, marketing and event sponsorship. The non-profits he has served include the Allentown Symphony Association; The County of Lehigh, in the Office of Community and Economic Development (where he interfaced with many non-profits); the four local corps of The Salvation Army; and recently as Director of Institutional Advancement for Lehigh Valley Christian High School where I handled all areas of development, including enrollment and marketing. During his stay at LVHS, they saw enrollment hit its highest level, coupled with significant fundraising growth.
