ECM offers racing fans young and old non-stop excitement with special activities all day long:

“We’re so excited to bring the magic of one of our families’ favorite movies to the Museum,” said ECM executive director Kristen Fries. “’Cars’ introduced many children to Route 66, and we’re expanding their learning by giving them a hands-on history lesson about the Mother Road. With financial support from the City of Edwardsville, we can share this experience with our young visitors at no cost to their families.”
