To celebrate the heritage and remarkable achievements of these many enterprises, the Pontiac Transportation Museum is being created to showcase examples of the cars, trucks, and other vehicles designed or built here – and the culture that truly changed the nation and the world.

The Museum will also honor the industrialization of this community and the many people whose work inspired these efforts. Through the museum’s existing and growing collections we will endeavor—through displays, teaching, and community programs—to help educate and inspire young people to chart their own destiny in an increasingly technical world.

The JAXON Auto Museum will be a car museum, event venue, and collector car storage facility. It is housed inside the former Jackson Automobile Company building, built-in 1895. The site is a state and national historic landmark which retains much of its original architectural and historical integrity.

The JAXON Auto Museum will have community space for public events and educational opportunities with exhibit emphasis placed on showcasing artifacts of the twentieth century and Jackson’s rich automotive, labor, and industrial history.

The JAXON Auto Museum is being designed inside a unique industrial event space within a four-story historic “New England Mill” style brick building with post and beam construction.
