Rolling Thru Time Auto MuseumTM -- Thursday 2/06/2025
Trip Cost $15.00
Rolling Thru Time Auto Museum is a brand-new 77,000-square-foot automotive museum in Tucson. The mission is clear -- to educate visitors about the history of automobiles and their significance in American life while providing a platform for local clubs and historians to share their stories. The museum features vehicles from every decade. There are galleries featuring tractors and farm equipment, and a fire station complete with all manner of fire-fighting vehicles and equipment. As noted on their website, behind every classic vehicle lies a story of innovation and passion that has shaped the road we travel today. As it moves forward, the museum remains committed to ensuring the legacy of the automobile continues to roll thru time for years to come. Additionally, their gift shop offers a fabulous selection automotive-themed gifts, collectibles, and memorabilia that delight all ages.
We’ll meet at the Photography Club upper-level parking lot at 8:45 AM for carpooling, departure at 9:00 AM. Please wear your GVR Photography Club or Camera Club badge if you have one. For those carpooling, $6.00 is an appropriate contribution to the driver.
Upon arrival, we will be met by Joseph Findysz, the museum's owner who will provide a one-hour guided tour of the museum and its five unique galleries. Afterwards, you’re welcome to explore and photograph the museum’s many exhibits. We will have the museum all to ourselves. Use of tripods and flash equipment is permitted. The tour should end around noon.
