Recurrence theories tell us if we wait just long enough, items will return to their original state.  After 115 years, a beautifully restored Browniekar will be returning to its original hometown of Newark, the village where it was designed and manufactured.  This child’s car has an undeniable charm that will captivate auto enthusiasts, local history buffs, Newark residents and all our visitors for years to come.

We will be unveiling the Browniekar during a private donor reception and then it will be available for all to see during our Browniekar Open House.  Please stop in and see the N-AHS Browniekar on display in its new home at the Museum on Saturday, June 8^th from 10am – 4pm.  Brownie desserts and refreshments will be available.

Join us on Thursday, June 13, at 7:00 p.m. as Sharon Leahy presents Early Automobilism in Newark at the Newark-Arcadia Museum.

At the turn of the century, Newark, N.Y. factored in the burgeoning transportation transformation.  Attendees will learn how early “horseless carriage” races, automobile clubs, and area automakers included Newark in the automobile craze.

A PowerPoint presentation will accompany Sharon’s lecture. This program will tie in perfectly with the new acquisition of the Browniekar!
