Car collectors and enthusiasts from far and wide will be on hand displaying their collections of beautifully restored and maintained vehicles such as muscle cars, vintage roadsters, hot rods and more at the Adirondack History Museum’s 4th Annual Antique and Classic Car Show.
The event will take place on Saturday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to 3p.m., and admission is free. These vintage cars will be exhibited on the Museum Grounds directly behind the pavilion off Hand Avenue in Elizabethtown.
“Classic cars and oldies music create a fun and upbeat retro vibe. It’s a perfect day for car enthusiasts and a great family activity,” said Adirondack History Museum Director Aurora McCaffrey. “The food is not to be missed, either.”
DaCy Meadow Farm will be on site offering a Farm Fresh Picnic & Barbecue. Ice cream, beer and wine will also be available.
For those looking for a chance to fill up their own vehicles, the day will feature a gas card raffle. Gas cards valued at $500, $250, and $100 will be raffled, with tickets available both before and during the event. The drawing takes place at 2 p.m.
Pre-registration for vehicle owners is currently underway. The exhibit fee registration is $10 in advance or $15 the day of the event. Car owners are asked to register with the Adirondack History Museum at echs@adkhistorycenter.org or (518) 873-6466.

The day also features free admission to the museum, highlighting the opening of the museum’s seasonal exhibit, “Essex County’s Immigrants: Names, Places, and Stories.” Drawing on the ancestry of present day Essex County residents, the exhibit uses individual stories to explore the broad immigration patterns that changed Essex County in the mid-1800s.
The Adirondack History Museum seeks to serve as Essex County’s center for the stories that reveal the roots and values of its people. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Columbus Day. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $2 for students.
