Join us for the first Prewar Car Show & Tour at the historic Stone Gables Estate in Elizabethtown, PA. You will ride in the 1863 steam locomotive on the estate’s private railroad and tour the only replica of the Abraham Lincoln funeral car. Participants are also free to tour the historic Star Barn and outbuildings. A photographer will also be stationed at the covered bridge to take free, professional photos of you and your car. You’re also welcome to drive your antique car around the private roads and trails* on the 275 acre property, which are perfect for early cars, as they are closed to modern traffic!
