About Swigart Museum

The William E. Swigart Jr. Automobile Museum is a nonprofit museum that preserves and teaches about early automobiles. Its collection began in 1920 as a private passion of founder W. Emmert Swigart and now includes carriages and cars dating to 1896. Thirty to thirty-five cars are shown at a time, and the displays change each winter so more of the collection can be seen. Visitors can also see a large set of automobile emblems, badges, and license plates, along with lamps, horns, bicycles, Fisher-Price toys, and a Herbie the Love Bug car used in the films. A gift shop sells automobile-related items.
