An Antique Car History Tour will take place in Macon County on Sunday, April 19. The tour participants will meet at the Franklin Town Hall, leaving there at 1:30 p.m. The excursion is expected to finish at the Motor Company Grill on Main Street at about 3 p.m.
Participation in the tour is free, but is for automobiles 50 years old or older (1900-1965 models). The event is not a parade, but a tour of the town of Franklin as well as some Macon County back roads. The cars will leave Town Hall in vehicle age order, oldest to newest. The trip is planned to cover about 25 miles, while passing 25-plus designated historic places.
Drivers will need a navigator, not only with following the tour directions, but also with the notations about the historical places designated on the route. At the end, each team will be given a questionnaire ? a history quiz about the places along the way to the final destination. This is a great opportunity to eat, showcase and talk cars, to renew friendships and maybe make new ones.
Paul Dobbin, the organizer and leader of the event planning, is staging this tour to help bring awareness and support to the Macon County Historical Museum by touring these historical places in Macon County.
The Museum is a storehouse of Macon County lore with relics and treasures dating from the ninth and 10th centuries to displays of 20th century artifacts. His desire is to have local residents visit the museum and see the history of events that have brought Macon County into the 21st century.
Anyone who wishes to attend, come out on April 19, and meet Mr. Dobbin at Town Hall. He will probably be leading the outing in his ’34 Ford (his Bonnie and Clyde car, as he referred to it). If anyone would like further information, Dobbin may be reached at his e-mail address, MaconAntiqueCars@aol.com or by phone at (828)200-4060.
