OWLS HEAD, Maine - On Thursday, June 12 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. the Owls Head Transportation Museum will host a special Fundraising Reception and unveiling of our newest exhibition: Faster: The Quest for Speed. The event will take place in the Museum's State of Maine Wing where the exhibition will be housed. The event is open to the public, admission is $20 and includes one complimentary libation as well as hors d'oeuvres catered by Café Miranda. A cash bar featuring an array of wine and beer selections will also be available.
The evening reception will feature remarks by acclaimed motorsports announcer, magazine editor, North East Motor Sports Museum Board President and former racecar driver Dick Berggren. Attendees will have the opportunity to be the first to view this exciting new exhibition that includes antique and contemporary racecars, racing motorcycles and bicycles. The exhibition strives to tell the story of mankind's quest for speed and the enduring passion for agility, performance and speed sought through vehicles of both the two-and-four-wheeled kind sourced from world-class collections throughout the East Coast. Faster: The Quest for Speed features dozens of vehicles and highlights include a Michael Schumacher driven Ferrari F2002 Formula 1 car, the world's second-oldest Duesenberg: a 1915 Indy team car, a 1907 Renault Vanderbilt Cup Racer, a Fabulous Hudson Hornet and more.
The official opening of the exhibition coincides with our annual Father’s Day weekend event, the Rod and Custom Cruise-in, on Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15.
