Four States Auto Museum, Vintage automobile museum in downtown Texarkana, United States.
Four States Auto Museum is an automobile museum in downtown Texarkana that focuses on historic vehicles from the early automotive era. The collection includes roughly twenty restored cars of different generations, with emphasis on models manufactured or used in this four-state region.
The museum was established in 2004 to preserve the transportation history of Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Its creation by the Tex-Ark Antique Auto Club reflected a desire to save vehicles that might otherwise have been lost.
The exhibits reflect how residents in this border region moved around over the years and which vehicles shaped their daily lives. The displays connect the automobiles to stories of local people and show how transportation evolved in their communities.
The museum is located on Laurel Street in the downtown area and offers free admission with weekend hours. It's best to confirm current opening times before visiting, as schedules can change seasonally.
Many of the vehicles on display come from local private collections and might otherwise have been scrapped. These rescue stories give visitors a different perspective on how heritage is preserved in small communities.
