The Franklin Auto Museum™, maintained by the Thomas H. Hubbard/H.H. Franklin Foundation
Founded by Thomas Hubbard, the museum is a means to continue his collection of classic Franklin automobiles, and to provide an opportunity to develop a comprehensive Franklin Museum covering all years of the company's production.
Mr. Hubbard put into trust the following:
- His entire Franklin automobile collection
- An extensive library of Franklin Company research materials
- His Aunt's extensive collection of native American artifacts
- A historical adobe home, museum and other buildings
- A generous endowment sufficient to maintain and preserve the facility in Tucson
Tom's intentions were for the trust to preserve and expand the cars, Indian artifacts and facilities to be complementary to the established southwestern site and architecture.
The automobile collection has grown to include additional representative examples of all Franklin automobiles. The H. H. Franklin Foundation is an educational museum of cars and displays. This is the center of Franklin history.
The Museum is open from Mid-October through Memorial Day Weekend.
The cost is $5 per individual. Students and Children are not charged admission.
