Golden Age of Trucking Museum


The Golden Age of Trucking Museum offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and history of trucking in America. The museum was founded in 1998 by Richard and Frances Guerrera. The Guerreras were the owners of a liquid transportation company that began with one truck and had expanded to more than 120 trucks during the years they were in business. During this time, Richard began collecting and restoring antique trucks, which he would display at local and national vehicle shows and in parades. In addition to a variety of community-minded projects, the Guerreras opened the Golden Age of Trucking Museum, displaying more than 20 of their restored trucks in one place. Though Richard became ill with cancer and died before the official opening of the museum, he was there for the groundbreaking in 1999. The museum opened in 2002 and is located on 16 acres. The Guerrera truck collection is permanently displayed at the museum and there are often temporary trucks displayed through donations. The temporary donations typically last for one year. In addition to the trucks, there are antique boats, antique cars, collectibles, paintings, prints and historic movies. The Interactive Interstate offers a hands-on area for children including books, computers, games, blocks and puzzles. The museum is a population destination for school groups, clubs, senior tours and scout groups.
