Tis the season of gifts and giving, so non-profit organization ProMedica decided to lift the spirits of Jeep enthusiasts across the world by announcing the construction of an all-new museum dedicated to the automaker's history in Toledo, Ohio.
It’s called The Jeep Experience and it’s scheduled to open in 2022 featuring a huge display of historic artifacts and other bits of Jeep history in a 56,000 square-foot space in the city’s downtown area. The specific location of the exhibition hasn’t been disclosed yet, but The Toledo Blade learned that the city planners approved the project as part of a major revitalization effort to boost tourism and local commerce.
Earlier this year, the group behind the city’s downtown revamp initiative, the 22nd Century Committee, reached out to Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles in a campaign for the museum’s establishment in the Ohio city. Naturally, the Auburn Hills automaker obliged, given the fact that Toledo's been home to Jeep's headquarters and main assembly plant since the company began manufacturing civilian models in 1945.
