The Legacy Continues: America’s Packard Museum in the News

“A Palace Worthy of the Packard...”

“What began as the city’s premier Packard dealership, then lay dormant for decades, is now a center for all things Packard — parts, restoration information and, above all, exceptional examples of the luxury brand.”

Latest News About America’s Packard Museum

America’s Packard Museum received a $4,000 grant from the Ohio History Connection’s Ohio History Fund. We are humbled and honored to be chosen from such a large group for the Driving Forward Strategic Planning at America’s Packard Museum initiative.

Thanks to the grant, the Museum will hire a Planning Facilitator to coordinate the development of the first-ever strategic plan for the organization. The strategic plan will produce a mutually agreed-upon vision of where America’s Packard Museum is going and actionable items that result in achieving the vision. The plan ensures this vision meets the needs of the Museum’s audiences and community and requires identifying how we will obtain the resources to fulfill this vision. The Museum will engage stakeholders (its Board, staff, volunteers, and professional colleagues) to set goals and establish strategies by which we will achieve them. The Plan will help us ensure that we appropriately acquire, develop and allocate our human, financial, and physical resources; gather appropriate benchmarking and data to guide our actions; and establish measures by which the Museum will assess its achievements. The dates of the grant will be May 1, 2026-April 30, 2027.

Thank you to our friends at the Ohio History Connection!
