SUMMARY:From Studebaker to International: The Story of the Proving Ground
DESCRIPTION:Due to circumstances beyond their control\, the International Proving Grounds will unfortunately no longer be able to join us on Wednesday\, September 16. We’re still looking forward to an engaging lecture\, with Archivist Andy Beckman expanding his portion of the lecture to share more of his insights. \nTake a whirlwind journey through the history of the Studebaker Proving Ground\, from its origins as a critical part of Studebaker’s automotive development process to the facility’s evolution after Studebaker’s departure. Studebaker National Museum Archivist Andy Beckman will highlight some of the most fascinating moments in the Proving Ground history\, including the vehicles\, testing\, people\, and innovations that made the facility an important part of Studebaker’s story. \nFollowing Andy’s historical look\, Austin Bourdon\, Engineering Manager at the International Proving Grounds\, will bring the story into the present\, discussing International’s ownership of the facility\, upgrades and improvements made over the years\, and how the Proving Grounds are used today. \n\nTogether\, the presentations offer a unique look at the Proving Ground for its 100 anniversary—from Studebaker’s build up of the facility to its use as a modern engineering and testing facility. \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium. Regular Speaker Series admission is $2. Regular admission fees apply to tour the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum. Studebaker National Museum and Campus members are admitted free!

SUMMARY:The First Indy 500
DESCRIPTION:The Indy 500 bills itself today as “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” That description would’ve been just as accurate for the inaugural race on May 30\, 1911\, which featured 40 cars battling for a then-staggering $27\,000 in prize money. Matt Anderson\, Curator of Transportation at The Henry Ford will take us on the journey through photos from that landmark first running – many taken by Henry Ford\, one of the 80\,000 fans who saw history being made at the Brickyard that day. \nPhoto Credit: The Henry Ford \nABOUT SPEAKER SERIES\nThe Studebaker Museum Speaker Series\, presented by the Campisi Family Education Fund\, is held in the Wiekamp Auditorium.
