Clayton Classic Cars

June through Labor Day 2009

 

The Museum’s fourth annual “Clayton's Classic Cars" exhibit has been set up inside of the museum for another summer. From June through Labor Day, the museum will be open to the public from 6-8 pm on Wednesday evenings. These extended hours coincide with the Skipolini's-sponsored car show on Main St.

This is a great opportunity for families to visit the museum since the summer is the only time the museum has evening hours.  This year, the final Wednesday night falls on September 2nd.  The display features car parts, manuals, tools, signs and more.  Pop inside the air conditioned museum which will feel particularly cool on a hot summer night, and see the special classic car exhibit along with the regular exhibits (Coal Mining, Jail/Blacksmith, Grove and Native American).
