Studebaker National Museum

The Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana, preserves and celebrates the automotive and industrial history of one of America's most storied vehicle manufacturers. Opened in 2005, the museum's 55,000-square-foot campus houses approximately 70 pristine classic vehicles alongside artifacts spanning more than a century of Studebaker history — making it one of the most distinctive event backdrops in the Midwest. For private events, the museum offers two dedicated spaces: the AM General Atrium, a soaring two-story hall with high ceilings and a skylight reminiscent of early automobile factory design, suited to receptions, anniversaries, reunions, and social gatherings for groups of 20 to 200; and the Museum Board Room on the second floor, positioned directly outside the second-floor gallery for smaller, more intimate gatherings. All rental guests receive complimentary access to the full museum galleries, and the museum provides preferred catering partnerships, free on-site parking, and full handicap accessibility.
