Honoring a Legend: The Lynn Paxton Memorial Fund

For over four decades, Lynn Paxton was the driving force behind the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing (EMMR). His passion and dedication to preserving the rich history of motorsports led to the establishment of EMMR as a Pennsylvania Nonprofit Corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity. Lynn’s tireless efforts ensured that generations of racing enthusiasts could celebrate and learn from the past, keeping the legacy of auto racing alive.

To honor Lynn’s incredible impact on motorsports and EMMR, we are proud to announce the creation of the Lynn Paxton Memorial Fund. This fund is dedicated to securing the long-term financial stability of EMMR by strengthening our Endowment Fund—ensuring that the museum continues its mission of education and preservation for years to come.
