Los Angeles’ Petersen Automotive Museum’s exhibit “From Autocamps to Airstreams: The Early
Road to Vacationland” is opening June 28 and will end February 8, 2009. The retrospective
exhibit, which offers a look at the early days of auto touring, will showcase the
development of camping trailers and other specialized recreational equipment and how they
evolved to meet the demands of early travelers and tourists. There will be a number of
early recreation vehicles featured along with period artifacts and camping equipment,
including one of the earliest production tent trailers known to survive. The Petersen
museum is located at 6060 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. For more information, go to www.petersen.org
