Night at the Museum, an annual fundraising event for the AACA Museum, will recognize individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the automotive hobby. This year, the AACA Museum Automotive Heritage Award honorees are Bill Miller Jr. and the late Elliot "Chip" Miller, founders of Carlisle Events, which provides classic and collector car entertainment.
The recognition event will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the AACA Museum, 161 Museum Drive, Hershey, from 6 to 10 p.m. This date marks the start of the annual AACA Hershey Fall Meet Week festivities in Hershey that attract automotive enthusiasts from around the globe.
Night at the Museum will feature a reception, entertainment, a silent auction, and a full dinner. This year, professional interpretive actors will be matched with vehicles such as the "Forrest Gump" bus, Whitney Houston's limousine, and a DeLorean DMC-12 (the car from "Back to the Future").
Throughout the event, visitors will have the opportunity to tour the museum's current featured exhibits, including "Studebaker Cool: 114 Years of Innovation," showcasing the evolution of Studebaker with more than 50 vehicles on view; "Harley-Davidson: The History, Mythology and Perceptions of America's Motorcycle"; a "Raymond Loewy Retrospective"; and a Pontiac-Oakland exhibit gallery. The museum is also home to the Cammack Tucker Collection and the Tucker Automobile Club of America showcasing what is known as the largest display of Tucker automobiles and artifacts anywhere in the world.
For 2019, the cost of Night at the Museum has been reduced, and the program is much less formal. People are encouraged to come as they are, straight from the Hershey fall meet fields, if desired.
Tickets may be upgraded for an exclusive VIP reception with Bill Miller Jr. and Lance Miller, Chip Miller's son. Proceeds will benefit the AACA Museum, which is dedicated to the presentation and preservation of the automotive hobby for current and future generations.
