In 2020, the Museum of Bus Transportation (MOBT) merged with the AACA Museum, Inc. to create the America’s Transportation Experience Bus Collection. It is a national showcase for bus history in North America. The joint effort establishes a first-class showcase focused on preserving the heritage of the industry and educating the public about bus transportation’s contributions to American history.
The bus collection is on display in the Richard O. Ullman Family Foundation Gallery on the museum’s lower level. The historic bus and motor coach fleet has grown to more than 50 buses, some more than 100 years old. A portion of the fleet is on public display at any given time on nearly 6,000 square feet of dedicated exhibit space. Also, the exhibit boasts a comprehensive historical “timeline” of bus buildings in North America, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world, and a substantial collection of bus memorabilia.
The America’s Transportation Experience Bus Collection is the only preserved bus fleet open to the public nearly every day of the year.
Your support preserves bus transportation heritage
In addition to the countless hours of dedicated volunteer work required to display these treasures, restoring, preserving, and exhibiting them requires substantial financial support. The museum is a popular destination for car, truck, motorcycle, and bus buffs and a great addition to any visit to the Hershey, PA, area. Please consider supporting our efforts to preserve bus transportation history by visiting, joining, and contributing.
