Sad news from Connecticut

Written by webmin

Word comes to us, by the institution’s announcement, that the Golden Age of Trucking Museum in Middlebury, Connecticut, will close at the end of this month. According to an e-mail disseminated by director Kathleen Jones, the collection will close next Tuesday, July 20th, following a cruise-night, unless a new funding source is found between now and then.

The museum opened in 2002, first envisioned by Jones’s late father, Richard Guerrera, a lifelong trucker and operator, and first funded by his widow. Jones didn’t immediately respond to our e-mail asking what will happen to the trucks on display. However, she told the Waterbury Republican American in an account published last week that a 2009 effort to raise $100,000 only achieved 20 percent of its goal. Want to be a savior? Go to www.goldenagetruckmuseum.com and let them know.
