 The Third Annual "BOATS AT THE BARNS" presented by the Kalamazoo Antique Auto Restorers Club and the Gilmore Car Museum will be held in conjunction with 29th Annual Red Barns Spectactular Saturday Aug. 1, 2009
"Boats at the Barns" is held annually on the beautiful grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum, one of the nations top antique auto museums. Antique boats, 25 years or older, are displayed with auto's of the same vintage. In doing so we visually demonstrate the relationship between automobile and boat design. We are then better able to understand the history, technology and manufacturing advancements which followed.
