About EMMR
<then AND now> 
Back in 1975, a small
group of racing enthusiasts known as the Williams Grove Old Timers,
gathered near Harrisburg, Pa. They shared a common interest in the
early days of American motor racing and a desire to preserve the
history of that bygone era. To serve this purpose, they immediately
planned the construction of a public museum of racing history to be
known as the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing.

The
museum is built on a wooded hillside overlooking the historic
Latimore Valley Fairgrounds and Racetrack near York Springs, Pa.
Along with establishing one the the premier racing museums in the
country, the 40 acre fairgrounds and racetrack were also
passionately restored to their original beauty. This creates an
almost magical atmosphere that makes EMMR a "living museum". Several
times each year EMMR holds public events where these historic cars
are again brought to life and can be seen as they were meant to be
seen ... On the Racetrack!

Along
with these vintage racecars, friends, families, fans and competitors
alike reunite to reminisce about the glory days of yesterday. Not
only do they relive fond memories and renew old friendships, they
create new ones for the generations that follow. Whether you are
walking through the museum, the fairgrounds, or the infield of the
racetrack, you can often hear first-hand accounts from some of the
very men who became legends in these machines. Become a member of
EMMR today and help to preserve that history.
