Hershey, PA AACA Museum Halloween Exhibit

[resq302]

Went out to Hershey, PA last weekend with my family to Hershey Park and as always, had to stop by the AACA museum to check out their ever changing displays.  Figured I would share the pics with you for those of you who are not as close as I am.

They also recently were donated not one, but THREE Tucker vehicles, two chasis, at least 4 engines, body parts, and many, many signs and paperwork from the original Tucker line.  The person who had previously owned them had passed away and willed them to the museum.  The AACA museum is now the largest collection of Tucker items in the world.  From what I remember during the conversation I had with the one volunteer, they are having a special display of the Tucker collection starting I think in April of 2014.

First pic is of the three Tuckers they have now.



Pic of small (and I mean REALLY small) diner that was bought and brought to the musuem.  These were actually all over our area back in the day and would be moved around by crane.  I think max. seating was for 8-10 people.

this pic doesn't show it but there is actually a moving light with a person running away from the female ghostly head.

What's cool is they rent out the banquet area down in the basement / bus area.  I bet it would be really cool to have some kind of a reception there!
