New Temporary Exhibit Opening - Cannonball Run

New Exhibit Opening – Cannonball Run
September 30, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Join us on September 30, 2025, for the opening of our newest temporary exhibit, Cannonball Run.

The Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Race is named for Erwin Baker who logged an estimated 5.5 million miles and set 55 different cross-country records in the early days of automobiles. The first run was in 1933 with Baker’s 53.5 hour drive from New York to LA. In 1971, to protest the new 55 MPH speed limit, Brock Yates and others revived the Cannonball Run to break the existing record and prove that high speed doesn’t equal danger. Here is an opportunity to view vehicles that have run the race and learn the stories of their experiences.


The exhibit will be on display on September 30, 2025 – February 1, 2026
