It is with heavy hearts that the Swigart Museum shares the sad news of the passing of our dear friend and board member, Steve Gordon, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 83.

Steve was a wonderful friend and a devoted supporter of the Swigart Museum. We are incredibly grateful for his time, dedication, generosity, and all he did to support the museum and its mission. His friendship and contributions meant so much to us, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family and loved ones as they navigate this difficult time.

Thank you, Steve, for everything you did for the Swigart Museum. We will always be grateful for your friendship and support.

May you rest in peace, Steve. You will be missed.

🎃🚗🍬 The Swigart Museum Is Off to Neverland! ✨🧚‍♀️

Tonight, the Swigart Antique Auto Museum was excited to once again participate in the annual Huntingdon Halloween Parade! 👻🎃

This year, our theme was “Off to Neverland!” 🏴‍☠️✨ Our museum staff brought the magic to life with costumes inspired by Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and the children who journeyed off to Neverland!
Of course, we couldn’t leave our automobiles out of the fun! Our beautiful 1939 Buick joined the adventure as Tinker Bell, complete with little lighted wings on the back! 🧚‍♀️🚘💚

We had a wonderful time being part of this fun community tradition and bringing a little Neverland magic to the streets of Huntingdon!

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the parade and support our local community! ❤️

A big thank you to all who have donated candy or given contributions so we could get candy for the parade and for our upcoming Swigart Museum Trunk or Treat this Saturday October 24, 2026 9am-11am. 🚗 👻 🍬

A couple of weeks ago, the Swigart Museum participated in the 80th Revival AAA Glidden Tour, which took place this year in Dover, Delaware. Our Vice President, Dave Kontor, took our 1940 Cadillac Series 75 on the tour!

On the last day of the tour, participants honored the memory and legacy of Pat Swigart, who was very involved with the Glidden Tours and served as the Dean of Freshman. This year, our own board member Sally Murray had some big shoes to fill when she was asked to take on the role of Dean of Freshman.

Sally is pictured here with members of Pat’s family, who came at the end of the tour to receive a memorial banner honoring Pat. Her daughter, Patty, granddaughter, Sarah, and great-grandson, Alex, were there to receive this special gift.

And this Cadillac has quite a history of its own! The car once belonged to Barbara Hutton, who received it in 1942 as a wedding gift when she married actor Cary Grant. It was a gift from her aunt, Jessie Woolworth Donahue.

A special thank you to Sally & Bob Murray, Kyle Blake, and Dave Kontor for sharing these wonderful photos with us so we could share them with you!
