California was the stuff of dreams in NASCAR’s early days, holding the magic of Hollywood and the solitude of the coastline and forests. And NASCAR was not immune to the lure.
At the Carnegie Museum of Kings County, an AV room has been set up with archival footage of the Hanford 250 race of 1968, allowing patrons to see the action
The Carnegie Museum of Kings County has the keys to the grounds, but theyâve got their work cut out for them before their planned reopening at the end of July.
According to museum president Jack Schwartz, theyâve inherited an empty building from their predecessors at Hanford Carnegie Museum, Inc.
The new Carnegie Museum is working on arranging to curate all-new exhibits dealing with Kings County history. For example, they are currently arranging for artifacts from Naval Air Station Lemoore to be displayed as part of the 60
th Anniversary of its opening this summer. Another exhibit is being planned around the history of the Marchbanks Speedway and racing from the 1950s and 60s.
