Rusty Rail Brewing Company buiiding

Rusty Rail Brewing Company and America’s Transportation Experience proudly present the first “Museum on the Road” event. Join us for a car-centric road trip to Rusty Rail Brewing in Mifflinburg, PA. From 4-8 p.m., Rusty Rail presents live music, special antique car parking, swag, great food, world-class beer, and a display of model-T trucks at their historic venue.

Guests are welcome to meet us at the brewery — 5 North Eighth Street, Suite 1, Mifflinburg, PA 17844 — or join us for a ride out to the venue. The museum’s Rob Kain leads the drive, starting promptly at 2:30 PM from the museum parking lot. Drive your classic, antique, or collector vehicles to the brewery and join the fun.

Rusty Rail is truly a destination venue. Now the largest craft brew pub in Pennsylvania, the building was once the home of the Mifflinburg Body Works, a manufacturer of after-market Model T truck bodies. During the company’s heyday, a spur line of the local railroad ran through the center of the factory to unload truck chassis that would be outfitted with the company’s wooden bodies. The trucks were loaded on the rail cars and taken to dealerships when finished. Rusty Rail has preserved and restored the building while honoring its rich history. Multiple Model T trucks on display feature bodies built on the premises. Find out more about Rusty Rail Brewing Company.
