Steamed

On Saturday, Oct. 15, about 30 Stanley Steam Car enthusiasts took a jaunt from the Marshall Steam Museum at Auburn Heights in Hockessin to Primitive Hall in West Marlborough. The beautiful old cars had no mishaps en route, and the drivers and passengers enjoyed lunch, drinks, and a tour of the restored 1738 house on the gorgeous autumn day. One driver was concerned that he might not have enough water in his tank to make it back to Delaware, so before setting off he filled up with a garden hose.

According to the museum's website (auburnheights.org), "The Marshall collection is made up of 14 original, road-worthy Stanleys representing a cross section of Stanley manufacturing years and operating technologies. The Marshall collection is the largest operating collection of Stanley Steam Cars in the world."
