ABOUT

The British Transportation Museum

The British Transportation Museum (BTM) is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit charity located in Dayton, Ohio dedicated to preserving our British motoring heritage through education and vehicle preservation.​

 

Our Mission​

 

The British Transportation Museum is an educational institution established to collect, preserve, and interpret through exhibits the history of British built transportation vehicles utilized in the United States. The focus here is to foster learning, appreciation, insight and a useful understanding of the role of British transportation vehicles in American life. This involves the collection and preservation of vehicles, parts, photographs, memorabilia, books and any and all articles that illustrate British modes of transportation and presenting such items in an educational mode. The Museum reaches out to the community with historical programming, exhibits, classes, automotive events and other activities for all ages.​

A Walk Through the British Transportation Museum (49 min)

On August 3, 2020 we had a visit by YouTube videographer, youtuuba, accompanied by Pete Stroble, BTM president.  Due to social distancing observed due to COVID-19, some of the audio is not great.   However this video gives a nice virtual tour of the museum for those not able to attend due current restrictions for public health.
