About America's Packard Museum

Housed in an authentic Packard facility, this nonprofit museum in downtown Dayton preserves more than a century of automotive history. Visitors can walk through a 1917 showroom and original service areas, and see roughly fifty classic cars up close. The collection is presented as the story of the Packard company and its place in American car making, with exhibits covering design, engineering, craftsmanship and wartime production. The museum has been operating since 1992 and hosts holiday events and private gatherings.
