About this event

With the weather getting colder it's time to move our events inside!
The Pontiac Transportation Museum is welcoming the HDC Detroit Chapter for a museum visit and tour led by a docent. If you're a first time visitor, or a member of the museum, this should be a nice event to stay warm and really see some history from the Motor Cities.
One of America’s deepest legacies of transportation history, innovation, and accomplishment is in the community of Pontiac, Michigan. While nearby Detroit is known as “The Motor City,” here in Pontiac during the late 19th and early 20th centuries some of the nation’s most successful manufacturers of horse-drawn buggies and carriages evolved into the earliest car and truck companies.
Among the dozens of such companies with local roots, two of the largest ultimately became General Motors’ renowned Pontiac Motor Division and GMC Truck and Coach.
To celebrate the heritage and remarkable achievements of these many enterprises, the Pontiac Transportation Museum has been created to showcase examples of the cars, trucks, and other vehicles designed or built here – and the culture that truly changed the nation and the world.
Parking is available onsite. Museum admission is $15, $12 for Seniors/Military, $8 for kids, and 50% off for residents of Pontiac.
