Collings Foundation American Elegance Wings and Wheels

If you love old cars and World War II history, a trip to the Collings Foundation on Father's Day weekend June 16-17 8:30 am to 4:30 pm might be the family outing for you. We've been to this event and their Fight for the Field with extended family and both are wonderful events.

There are plans to make this a year round museum, but currently if you want to see the collection there is one event in the Spring and one in the fall for the public at large. This event highlights the car collection and invites the State Police Museum in to show some of their collection and to participate in a fun Al Capone theme show mid day.

There is a parade of cars so you will want to find a good viewing spot for that while you are there. Blankets or chairs are not a bad option, but you might want to pick them from your car after you've toured the collection so you don't have to carry them around or if you are comfortable you can stake out a place for the parade and leave them unattended while you head out.

The price of admission is $15 for adults and $10 for children. Price of admission does include the ability to tour the collection of planes and World War II items. You can find more information about the event here.

  1. Interesting post!! There is one mansion in NEPA that is called the Al Capone home by locals because it was rumored he would come there to stay in the warm Summer months.....
    Thanks so much for stopping by!!
    Hugs,
