To explore night driving's history, the AACA Museum Inc., 161 Museum Drive, Hershey, has launched a new permanent exhibit in its Main Gallery titled "Driving After Sundown: The Evolution of Headlights." The display presents the evolution of American vehicle headlighting and demonstrates lighting examples from the early days of the automotive era to the present.
The exhibit delivers a hands-on, interactive experience employing a multimedia approach. It demonstrates how lighting technologies evolved over the past 140 years, giving drivers usable light while minimizing the effects of glare on oncoming vehicles. The exhibit includes lighting effects from the days of candles, oil, and acetylene to today's lighting.
