Franklin Auto Museum

Today we volunteers were honored by Bourke, Tony, Bill and the board of trustees for a year of service. We are happy to help keep the museum open by showing guests our collection of cars. If you enjoy meeting fellow car enthusiasts, join our team and maybe be at our lunch table next year.

Thank you Arizona Inn for hosting an “old friend” today as we celebrate our Packard’s centennial. We had beautiful weather, a delightful lunch at the Audubon Bar, and enjoyed discussing this unique historical connection with Inn guests.

The Arizona Inn remains a comfortable and elegant retreat that emphasizes its rich history and wonderful service. As a native, I suggest that if you want to experience true Tucson character, look no further for your accommodations.

It’s the best week of the year! The Franklin Museum opens for our 61st season this Wednesday!

Stop by and check out the largest, most comprehensive single collection of Franklin cars in the world tucked away quietly in midtown Tucson. Visitors will also be delighted by our historic 1930’s ranch property, knowledgeable staff, and a few other cars worthy of being stable mates with our Franklins.

Museum hours are Wednesday- Saturday 10AM- 4PM through mid- May (closed for summer). Admission is $12 regular, $10 for Seniors & groups, and as always kids are free.

Address: 1405 E Kleindale Rd, Tucson, AZ, 85719.
