The Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum, located in Auburn, Indiana, was originally the administration building for the Auburn Automobile Company. It housed departments of the Cord Corporation, which manufactured the Auburn, Cord, and Duesenberg lines of vehicles.
It officially became the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in 1974, and was listed with the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The museum is open every day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Admission to the museum is $8 for adults, and $5 for students.
There is also an annual ACD Festival over Labor Day weekend, for the more dedicated car fans, and the National Automotive and Truck Museum behind the ACD Museum.
