THE MUSEUM IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Due to COVID-19, the museum is closed and public tours are not possible.  Several staff members have returned to perform research activities on a limited schedule to answer information requests.  Those requests must be entered through the “contact us” link on this website. 

Please monitor this website and the Mack Museum Facebook page for updates on reopening.  We appreciate your understanding and look forward to having you visit with us once again.

Respectfully,

Doug Maney, Museum Curator

MACK - Since 1900

What year did the Mack Senior model debut?  When was the first Mack diesel engine produced?  When did Mack adopt the bulldog as its mascot?  Or a little closer to home: What transmission was outfitted on your grandfather’s 1940 Mack?  If you have questions – and perhaps a model and serial number (or vehicle identification number) – there’s a pretty good chance the Mack Trucks Historical Museum has the answers within their archives.  The Mack Museum was born as a non-profit corporation in 1984 and commemorates Mack history through preserving truck build records, service and parts information, engineering drawings, photos, memorabilia and a collection of vintage Mack truck models.  We supply information about trucks that are 25 years old or older.  In addition to being the authority on all things Mack, the Mack Trucks Historical Museum also restores and preserves vintage Mack Trucks and memorabilia for all to enjoy.

OUR POLICY ON ANIMALS IN THE MUSEUM

Pets are NOT allowed in the Museum. This includes in strollers, carriers and purses.

We do, however, welcome all service animals, as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA defines service animals as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. 

Animals whose sole function is to provide assistance or emotional support but are not individually trained do not meet the definition of service animal under the ADA. These animals are not permitted inside our buildings.
