The Franklin Auto Museum is an absolute must see for all car enthusiasts. The Thomas H. Hubbard/H.H. Franklin Foundation maintains this museum, which consists of Mr. Hubbard’s entire collection of Franklin automobiles.

Franklin cars were manufactured by the Franklin Automobile Company in Syracuse, New York between 1902 and 1934. At the time, Franklins were considered a luxury brand– in 1902 they were sold for a whopping $1,100. They were the first American four-cylinder automobiles.

The museum also houses a library that contains all the research material that belonged to the Franklin Company. The library also features Mr. Hubbard’s aunt’s collection of American native artifacts.
