WHO WE ARE

The Mahan Collection Foundation Inc. is an Antique Trucking Museum located in Somerset County, New Jersey. Gary Mahan our founder and President wanted to take his truck collection to the next level, and ensure that his immaculate restorations would be protected for generations to come. In 2001 the museum was formed as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit. The Collection is displayed throughout 6 buildings, on 40 acres with countless memorabilia that will take your breathe away. With almost 200 trucks on site, ranging from 1916 - 2001, we are honored to be able to do our part in preserving American Trucking History for our visitors (both young and old) to enjoy. We operate with a crew of 4 full time restoration enthusiasts  to ensure that we can keep the museum going with new acquisitions and restorations in the works each year. 

WHAT WE DO

We collect, restore, and maintain one of the largest Antique Truck collections in the world. Our collection proudly displays over 200 trucks ranging from the early 1900's to 1990's. We are a team of 5, that focus on making sure these trucks and pieces of equipment are displayed for future generations to touch, feel, and learn about American Trucking History. Each year between May and October we bring selected trucks to approximately 10 different truck shows and caravans to allow spectators to see the work and restorations that we have completed. We offer guided semi-private and private tours, as well as host meetings and birthday parties in a history packed venue. We welcome any truck lover, or history enthusiast to come and see what we're up to!
