The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles is housed in the former home of the Boyertown Auto Body Works which had continuous operations on this site from 1872-1990. Guided tours begin in the Museum lobby where you’ll see the featured exhibit. As you make your way through the Museum’s main gallery, you will still see remnants of the old factory and even trucks that were originally built in this very building! Along with the various PA-built vehicles and carriages, the Museum also features the famous 1938 ‘Fegely’s’ Diner, a 1921 Sunoco gas station, and a 1920s tourist cabin!

Make your way to the second floor to see the original 1872 Jeremiah Sweinhart Carriage Factory where vehicle building began in Boyertown. The Museum proudly presents a dynamic exhibit of the reconstructed blacksmith forge and early, belt-driven machine shop, along with a display of buggies and wagons built right here in the Carriage Works. Follow along the covered walkway to enter our NEW Carriage Barn which houses carriages, wagons, sleds, and sleighs.
