After a long absence from posting, the Schwanke Museum has decided to return to posting here as a way to keep our follwers up to date with updates to the museum, as well as informational stories about some of the vehicles we have here.

The main change to the museum was the passing of our founder Virgil Scwanke just over a year ago.  He is greatly missed by his family, as well as many customers and friends.

The Schwanke Museum continues to operate with our summer hours of 1-4pm Monday through Saturday.  We are also open at other times by reservation for groups of 20 or more.

I have been employed at the museum since May of 2017 and am still learning about the history of the many vehicles we have here.  I have also been working on a computerized list of our vehicles to make it easier to direct guests to a certain make and model they may ask about.

Last Saturday we took our 1928 Model A out for a trip to the classic car show at the Willmar Stingers baseball game.

Thank you for visiting our blog today.
