🎃🍬 WOW!! What a RECORD-BREAKING day at the Swigart Museum! 🚗👻

We had an absolutely fantastic time this past Saturday at our 9th Annual Trunk or Treat, and we can’t thank everyone enough for making it such a tremendous success! ❤️

With OVER 115 VEHICLES PARTICIPATING, this year’s event was our biggest turnout yet! 🎉 We were thrilled to see so many creatively decorated vehicles, festive displays, and smiling faces as families came out to enjoy a morning of Halloween fun!

A HUGE thank-you to the Raystown Kruisers and all the wonderful friends from our community who joined us, decorated their vehicles, and handed out candy, treats, and other goodies to all the kiddos! 🍭🍫 Your time, generosity, and enthusiasm helped make this event so special.

We also want to thank everyone who came out to participate, brought their families, and helped make this annual tradition such a wonderful community event. It’s because of all of YOU that we can continue to grow this event year after year! 🧡

We are so grateful for the incredible support our community continues to show the Swigart Antique Auto Museum, and we’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year!

THANK YOU for making our 9th Annual Trunk or Treat one for the record books! 🎃🚗🍬

It is with heavy hearts that the Swigart Museum shares the sad news of the passing of our dear friend and board member, Steve Gordon, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 83.

Steve was a wonderful friend and a devoted supporter of the Swigart Museum. We are incredibly grateful for his time, dedication, generosity, and all he did to support the museum and its mission. His friendship and contributions meant so much to us, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Steve’s family and loved ones as they navigate this difficult time.

Thank you, Steve, for everything you did for the Swigart Museum. We will always be grateful for your friendship and support.

May you rest in peace, Steve. You will be missed.

🎃🚗🍬 The Swigart Museum Is Off to Neverland! ✨🧚‍♀️

Tonight, the Swigart Antique Auto Museum was excited to once again participate in the annual Huntingdon Halloween Parade! 👻🎃

This year, our theme was “Off to Neverland!” 🏴‍☠️✨ Our museum staff brought the magic to life with costumes inspired by Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and the children who journeyed off to Neverland!
Of course, we couldn’t leave our automobiles out of the fun! Our beautiful 1939 Buick joined the adventure as Tinker Bell, complete with little lighted wings on the back! 🧚‍♀️🚘💚

We had a wonderful time being part of this fun community tradition and bringing a little Neverland magic to the streets of Huntingdon!

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the parade and support our local community! ❤️

A big thank you to all who have donated candy or given contributions so we could get candy for the parade and for our upcoming Swigart Museum Trunk or Treat this Saturday October 24, 2026 9am-11am. 🚗 👻 🍬
