International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum, Transportation museum in Chattanooga, United States.

The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum displays antique wreckers, tools, equipment, and detailed documentation about vehicle rescue operations.

The museum opened in October 1995 near the original location where Ernest Holmes Company manufactured the first tow truck in the early 20th century.

The museum maintains the Survivor Fund to support families of towing professionals who lost their lives while performing their duties on roadways.

Visitors can explore 24 vintage tow trucks dating from 1913 to 2002, including the 1929 Chrysler model and a 2002 International H 430 Pink Wrecker.

The collection features specialized memorabilia such as miniature tow truck toys, industry uniforms, and photographs documenting rescue operations through different decades.
