"The greatest gift my dad gave me is the gift of possibility. Join me in passing this gift on to others." Sheri Reid - Executive Director, Reid Family Foundation.
For 10 years, as Executive Director, I have been managing our museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan. I'm not sure if your club has visited us before but, we have hosted countless car club meetings and tours at our museum. We have about 3000 scale replica models of cars, trains, ships, steam engines, traction engines and planes. Most are working models that were built by hand. There is a video on our website at www.reidff.org which shows our collection.
Anyway, my dad spent over 35 years acquiring the museum collection and opened it to the public free of charge in 2001. He hoped that by sharing his collection with the public, he would ignite a passion for the wonders of engineering in current and future generations. After seeing the 1000's of people, young and old, tour the museum collection, I am confident that my dad's wish came true.
Last May, my dad passed away. Now, I must sell his beloved museum collection and am trying my best to carry on his legacy and passion. I will do this by funding the Reid Family Foundation (which my dad founded) with the money from the sale of the museum collection. Then, I will make grants to youth and education going forward.
I would be very grateful if you would help spread the word of this sale to people who may like to participate. Below is a link to a video with highlights from the collection.
