Bartow’s Savoy Automobile Museum Wins USA Today Best Car Museum Honor
Savoy Automobile Museum has been voted the Best Attraction for Car Lovers in the 2024 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards! The contest began with a panel of travel experts selecting the top 20 nominees from around the country, then released it to the public for their vote.
“We were honored just to be nominated and included among the best automotive attractions across the country,” said Macra Adair, executive director of Savoy. “I am blown away by the amount of support and advocacy we have received. Our ranking at the top of this list is a direct reflection of the dedication and determination of our members, volunteers, staff, friends, and fans. Their voices are helping Savoy exceed expectations by creating a cultural resource within the car culture community.”
Savoy opened in December 2021 with a mission to foster connections to the rich cultural diversity of automobiles. The museum achieves this through changing exhibits, educational programs, and engaging experiences, inviting individuals to deeply appreciate the artistry and history of automobiles. In addition to a diverse array of automobiles, guests are greeted with a curated collection of original automotive-themed works of art.
Beyond its role as a museum, Savoy serves as a unique setting for various public and private events including business meetings, parties, awards ceremonies, and more. The Showgrounds and facilities provide a distinctive backdrop for an annual open classification car show, The Connection. Most recently, the grand addition of a 15,000 sq ft open-air pavilion creates an ideal setting for cruise-ins and other special events.
