The American Truck Historical Society Blue Mountain Chapter celebrates its 40th anniversary and 32nd annual truck show this year. The Blue Mountain Chapter members like to share these trucks with the public. This yearly event brings the regional transportation history to the museum for the public to appreciate. The Walla Walla Valley and its surroundings have a rich farming history that includes road transportation. Not so long ago, horses were replaced by “speed wagons”, motorized vehicles.

Come out for the day and see locally owned, vintage trucks, pickup trucks, vintage cars, and “old iron” on display. Meet the owners and share stories about their vehicles, and equipment. Many of the trucks and cars are still taken care of by the original owners and are even currently in use. Even with changes, the vintage trucks, cars, and equipment are more than enjoyable.

Trucking has changed, from small farm trucks to large trucks, often 18-wheeler “grain haulers”.Diesel engines replaced gas engines, farm operations got larger. However, the Annual Truck Show still includes the Blue Mountain Chapter members’ vehicles and equipment, which reflects the road transportation history, and the connection with the region.

If you are interested, or have stories to share, or to enjoy to see and “feel” old trucks and cars; you and your family are invited to visit the Show. We look forward to meeting you.

The perfect event for families, there will be live music, food, fun, and all manner of fine vehicles.
