Historic Sites & Museums
Hartford
Heritage Auto Museum - The
Hartford Heritage Auto Museum provides the rare opportunity to
see the largest assembled group of Kissel luxury automobiles.
The Kissel, a high caliber custom built automobile, was
manufactured in Hartford, Wisconsin from 1906 until the
depression in 1931. Of the 35,000 produced only 150 are known to
exist today. The most famous Kissel model was the Speedster,
affectionately called the "Gold Bug". The two
passenger "Gold Bug" was owned by such stars of the
day as Fatty Arbuckle, and Amelia Earhardt. A fine selection of
models including 4 passenger, coupes, touring cars, fire engines
and trucks await your inspection. Another featured car is
the Nash, which began in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It started when the
Thomas B. Jeffery Company was purchased in 1916. The "Nash
Room" is sponsored by the Nash Automobile Club of America.
A striking art deco interior sets off the over 90 "rare
treats" on display: Reos, Pierce-Arrows, Pontiacs,
Studebakers, Chevrolets, and Fords. Many models displayed are on
loan for an ever changing exhibit. We have a growing
display of automotive artifacts such as license plates, spark
plugs, oil cans, and signs, plus a collection of industrial
engines and, in addition, outboards built in Hartford from
1936-1992. Museum Facilities include a gift shop, and we
are wheelchair accessible. A park with picnic facilities adjoins
the large parking lot. Located one block from Hartford's
historically renovated Main Street, 3 miles from Pike Lake State
Park with campground.
