Welcome to The Golden Age of Trucking Museum

Upcoming Events
=REFLECTIONS= “THE GOLDEN AGE AUTO & TRUCK ART” BY BRYANT J. STEWART
Founder’s Gallery through December 2008

The Golden Age of Trucking Museum is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1998 by the late Richard Guerrera of Middlebury, Connecticut. Mr. Guerrera purchased the property shortly after, but passed away before any construction had begun. His widow, Frances Guerrera, followed through on his dream by building the museum and a ribbon cutting was held in September of 2002.

The Guerrera antiques will remain a part of the museum forever. Other displays in the museum are on loan to the museum for one year and are then rotated out so that the exhibits will continue to be new and exciting.

The museum has a display of carriages and collectibles shown in Memory Lane.

“Moving History”, a movie about moving the Edaville Railroad from Carver, MA to Portland, ME is shown in Media on West Main. The movie is approximately 35 minutes long, and is shown on request.

Our Founders Gallery is currently showcasing artist Bryant Stewart who resides in Erving, Massachusetts. An opening reception will be held on January 13, 2008 from 2 until 4pm. The exhibit, “Reflections from the Golden Age of Trucking” will be on display through December of 2008.

You will find an extensive display of antique trucks in the showroom ranging from the early 1900’s until 1974. Mack, GMC, Diamond T, Autocar, White, International, Pierce Arrow, Republic, Jeep, Dodge, Brockway and others are all represented in the display. There are also stock cars from the now closed Danbury Race Arena. Be sure to see Tractor Mac out in the museum. He is a storybook character made famous by local author and illustrator Billy Steers who resides in Roxbury, CT. All of his books are available in our gift shop and some may be signed by Billy.

Library Lane is a comfortable reading area for our adult visitors. Interactive Interstate is a children’s area where we have computers, books, puzzles, games, blocks, easels, ride-on toy.

We ask that parents please clean up the play area when your children are finished playing. There are wiggle cars that the children may ride in the far corner of the museum. They must stay in that area which is taped off with blue tape. You may get into the Fire Truck from the passengers side, but do not open or use the driver’s side door. Be sure to stop at Waramaug Way to see the antique boats and vanity license plates and help yourself to complimentary refreshments.

Please keep your refreshments in the picnic area. You are welcome to bring a lunch to enjoy. There is a cut-away of a Volvo truck that you may get into in this area. Please do not bring food or drink into the Volvo!

Our volunteers are always happy to open a door or lift a hood for you to check out a vehicle, but we ask that you do not touch the displays.

We have memberships available and will apply today’s admission to that if you join today! Just inquire at the office.

Thank you for your patronage, enjoy your visit, please sign our guest book and tell your friends about us!

We ask that you do not touch the trucks, boats or displays. Do not open any doors. If you need assistance please ask a volunteer or at the office.

The play area is for the children to enjoy, but we ask that you supervise your children and do not leave them unattended. Please return all games, toys, puzzles, books, blocks… to their places. Thank you
