Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles was established in 1965 by Paul Hafer and his wife Erminie. Paul Hafer, was born in 1910, and moved to Boyertown at the age of 16, to begin a 57-year career of designing and building over 100,000 truck bodies at the Boyertown Auto Body Works, which was founded by his father. He served for 21 years as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.

The Museum is housed in the old Boyertown Auto Body Works factory. The original 1872 Jeremiah Sweinhart carriage factory still stands as a part of today’s museum facility. This building complex, where vehicles were built from 1872 to 1990, houses the Museum’s collections. Ever changing stage-set exhibits display vehicles as they would have been seen in earlier times. The buildings include the 1872 carriage shop, large exhibit areas, an orientation theater, research library, and museum store featuring vehicle related books, gifts, and toys.

Visitors enjoy learning from a variety of cars and trucks at the museum’s annual Duryea Day Antique and Classic Car Show on the Labor Day weekend.
