“Auburn automotive heritage, inc., dba the auburn cord duesenberg automobile museum, an educational nonprofit 501(c)(3), is an art deco treasure, faithfully presenting its original 1930's grandeur - a place where landmark automotive innovation was once a daily occurrence. It is the only auto museum anywhere occupying an auto manufacturer's international headquarters building. It includes the actual factory showroom, design studios and administrative offices of an american thoroughbred auto maker. In the museum building, the designers, innovators and engineers worked. It is nationally significant as one of the few remaining examples of an independent specialty automobile company that made hand-assembled rather than mass-produced automobiles. Since their inception, automobiles designed and built here are highly prized around the world. The museum not only honors three extraordinary motorcars from america's automotive golden age - the auburn, cord and duesenberg - but also dozens of other great classic marques. The museum provides innovative exhibits and educational programs, grounded in scholarly research to inform a diverse audience representing all 50 states and over 40 countries annually. Categories of visitors include car enthusiasts, historians, senior and adult tour groups, families with children, researchers, writers, those with a passion for art and design, and teachers with local students on study trips. The museum's collection is comprised of 123 automobiles, 2 aircrafts, a boat, 1,400 small artifacts, and over 100,000 objects in its research archives. Automobiles are also taken on temporary loans to allow for comprehensive exhibits. The museum's most active educational program is its self-guided tour offered to the general public 362 days a year. Study trips that meet academic standards are taught by licensed professionals. The museum's archives fulfills over 1,000 research requests annually. Since 1997, the auburn cord duesenberg automobile museum has achieved and retained accreditation status by the american alliance of museums, in accordance with the highest standards of excellence. Less than 5% of the nation's 17,774 museums have earned accreditation. Only two museums nationally have achieved this accreditation in the automobile museum category. The auburn cord duesenberg automobile facility received the highest designation in the country, that of national historic landmark, in 2005 stating that the museum site has been found to possess exceptional significance in illustrating or commemorating the history of the united states for the benefit and inspiration of the american people.”
