Drawing on this history, America on Wheels showcases the history of wheeled transportation from the earliest days of the automobile to modern-day designs. Highlights of this fantastic museum include the 1889 Nadig Gas-Powered Carriage, an extensive collection of Mack Trucks made in Allentown, and bicycles, motorcycles, and pedal cars.

Visitors especially enjoy the museum’s great collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings and sculptures, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed library (which was rebuilt here after being removed from one of his homes), and the museum’s collection of Keith Haring paintings.

Learn about the Delaware/Lenape Indians and other Northeastern Woodlands tribes at the Museum of Indian Culture.
