Educational Guest Lecture Series at Marymount

Come listen (and bring your friends!) to local experts share their knowledge about special car-related and historical topics at the LeMay Museum. There's something for everyone!

Each of these presentations are FREE, fun and educational and are held in a meeting room at the LeMay Museum at Marymount (325 152nd ST E Tacoma, WA 98445) and there's always plenty of time for Q&A as many in the audience have information to share as well.

There are more lectures in the pipeline for future months, so stay posted for more info!
