Sarasota Classic Car Museum Forced To Move

The Sarasota Classic Car Museum has been located on Tamiami Trail in Sarastoa, Florida since 1953. The 55,000 square foot building is the second oldest continuously operating antique car museum in the Nation.

But now, museum director Martin Godbey and museum Curator Blake Godbey were given a written notice on May 16, 2023, which terminates the museum’s lease.

The property is owned by New College of Florida wh has leased the property to the museum for the last 20 years.  Sarasota Classic Car Museum actually predates the college. The New College leadership is looking to replace the museum with a new athletic facility.

As of June 1, 2023 the New Collegeoard of trustees approved the plan to demolish the Palmer, Reichert and Knight buildings. This includes turning the car museum into a temporary space to accommodate student housing and other services displaced by the demolition.

Martin Godbey is still trying to get an extension from New College to give more time in an attempt to figure out what can be done with all of the museum’s artifacts. As of 1/9/23, Godbey has not been responded to and has until the end of June to vacate.

*UPDATE*

The Sarasota Classic Car Museum was able to negotiate more time with the New College and will remain open until October 2023 while they figure out a more reasonable exit plan.

South Carolina Military Museum

South Carolina Military Museum

The mission of the South Carolina Military Museum is to honor and chronicle the South Carolina citizen soldier and this State’s martial tradition from its colonial founding in 1670 to present-day operations worldwide. Featuring an impressive collection of artifacts, displays, and exhibits, the Museum tells the story of the South Carolina militia, its evolution into the National Guard, and its important role today as a reserve component and force multiplier for the United States Army and Air Force.

The South Carolina Military Museum possesses a vast array of authentic firearms, edged weapons, uniforms, ordnance, artillery pieces, and armored fighting vehicles that literally bring history to life. These include a Columbiad Cannon that once protected Charleston Harbor, an AH-64A Apache Cockpit and Weapons Trainer, and an H-13B “Sioux” Helicopter –  serial number one! Interspersed throughout are also such items as an M48A1 “Patton” Tank, an amphibious WWII German Schwimmwagen, one-of-a-kind Type II Blakely Rifled Cannons, an F-104 downward-firing ejection seat, and a rare collection of South Carolina swords/sabers

One can easily find pieces of the Palmetto State’s military history elsewhere. But only the South Carolina Military Museum offers genuine artifacts from every period in South Carolina history. From “new world” battles with the Spanish to hunting down Taliban in Afghanistan, the Museum honors all of South Carolina’s sons and daughters in uniform. Their history, after all, is our history and the South Carolina Military Museum is devoted to preserving this legacy for all generations.
