The Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve Mission

The mission of the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve, Inc., is to educate the public firsthand about an American way of life that flourished at the dawn of the automotive age and to preserve historic steam automobile technology by teaching the practical skills of operating and maintaining steam cars.

Auburn Heights Preserve, includes the Marshall family home and carriage house listed on the National Register of Historic Places, site of the first Stanley automobile dealership in Delaware, a museum building housing a collection of vintage automobiles, a 1/8” size live steam train, operating on the property, and approximately 200 acres of surrounding park land.

To accomplish this mission, the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve, Inc., may:

1. Conduct educational tours of the property, collections, and buildings at Auburn Heights.
   
2. Teach the technology of early transportation by encouraging the public to observe, inspect, and ride the vintage cars and trains.
   
3. Initiate outreach programs for current and prospective steam car operators and owners, by creating seminars, videos, and publications that address historic steam car maintenance and operation.
