PBS Kids Day at Parkview Field was a hoot! NATMUS brought an MG TD and boy kid the kids (and mascots!) love the opportunity to sit in the car!

We had a blast seeing all the smiles and being at Fort Wayne’s amazing ballpark!

NATMUS has been around for decades, and the love for this museum has been passed down from generation to generation.

Current Board President, John Pontius, has a long history with NATMUS. His father, Lee Pontius, was a founding member of NATMUS, and instilled his love of automobile history to John, who is passing down this love to his son, Jack, and daughter, Kennedy, who are both involved in the museum.

We are a museum of memories and a museum for every generation.

Whether you have a love of Hudsons, one-of-a-kind vehicles, historic trucks, and more, NATMUS vehicles invoke memories.

Pardon our dust! 🚧

We are in the midst of getting a new roof! Our beautiful historic building needs ongoing TLC, and the roof needed a little love.

Our museum is housed in one of the two last remaining factory buildings of the iconic Auburn Automobile Company. Not only do we aim to preserve the history of automobiles, we also preserve the building itself 🤍

Help us support the upkeep and maintenance on our historic building by donating to our Building Fund, today: https://natmus.org/donations/

Built for families, long road trips, and a whole lot of memories 🚗✨

This 1958 Ford Station Wagon wasn’t just a car, it was part of an era when the journey mattered just as much as the destination. Originally purchased new in Fort Wayne in 1958, this classic wagon came equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission and plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike.
