Do you know what is 12 weeks from today??? If you don't, I'll tell you. It is going to be the first day of our fantastic 2-day SPRING FLING. We are very excited about holding this for two days but it will be a lot of work....anyone who would like to volunteer to help cleanup or set up for the show should email us (thebusmuseum@yahoo.com) and let us know you are coming--whether it is for a day, a half day or a few hours, we can use the help. We need help getting the grounds prepared as well as cleaning up the inside of the Memorial Annex and setting up the tables.

For those of you that are in the area, this weekend (March 14, 15) is Community Days at the Museum and all admission fees are $5.00 (that is a half-price saving). The Museum displays more than 100 antique cars, motorcycles and, of course, buses in unique themed settings. The permanent collection of the car museum features “From Sea to Shining Sea” a stroll through the United States from New York in the early 1900’s through to San Francisco in the 1970’s. This exhibit highlights an early 1900’s machine shop, a 1930’s Art Deco scene, a 1940’s Gas Station and a 1950’s drive-in. The Museum also is home to an authentic Valentine Diner that was moved to the Museum from its original home in Wichita, KS, where it functioned as a diner through 1983. So why not take the time to visit YOUR museum and get a great deal on the entrance fee! In fact, why not bring the whole family!
