Thank you for your interest in supporting the Audrain Automobile Museum. The Audrain Automobile Museum is a registered 501c3 Rhode Island not-for-profit organization It is supported by the generosity of its members, local residents, corporations and other philanthropic individuals, as well as from admissions and merchandise sales. The Museum has become a must-see both for locals and visitors to Aquidneck Island and Newport, a town known as the birthplace of the Vanderbilt Cup, the first major trophy in American automobile racing.
Your contribution directly supports an endowment designated for the acquisition, restoration, and preservation of historically important automobiles. In addition to preservation, the Museum is dedicated to advancing the research and study of Newport’s and Southern New England’s automotive history. We look forward to a continued relationship for the benefit of automobiles and history alike. Some of the curriculum will include the utilization of our newly acquired race simulators. Beyond the fun of racing, this technology allows students to see how STEM research takes science, technology, engineering, and math out of the classroom and into the real world by using specific programming and design techniques that are being learned in schools today. We will also use our upcoming exhibits to highlight our collection of Newport-specific cars offering a different side of local history for children and adults to relate to and learn about.
