- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 13 Jan, 2026 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In the spring of 1903, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson accepted a fifty-dollar bet that he could drive across America—something no one had yet attempted. Setting off from San Francisco in a 20-horsepower Winton touring car, Jackson embarked on a daring journey that would make history. With only 150 miles of paved roads in the entire country, no gas stations, and few reliable maps, most people doubted that the automobile had any future. Yet Jackson’s adventure would forever change that perception.

Horatio’s Drive tells the inspiring story of America’s first transcontinental road trip—a spirited expedition filled with flat tires, muddy detours, and the simple joys and frustrations that define every great journey. Along the way, Jackson’s optimism and determination became as essential as the gasoline that powered his car. Both humorous and heartwarming, this documentary celebrates one man’s boundless curiosity and the early days of America’s love affair with the open road.

The film is approximately 1 hour and 46 minutes, rated G, is free and open to the public, and is made possible through Kanopy.
