Road map collectors are coming to the AACA Museum on April 21 and 22 for their annual Spring MapCon, and they are bringing with them thousands and thousands of collectible road maps! The museum has partnered with the Road Map Collectors Association since 2018 for a permanent exhibit curated by the association and has hosted annual conventions for map collectors.
This year the Spring MapCon will be a two-day event held in the Rotunda. The event is open to the public to stop by and browse through the maps given away by the millions by gas stations, highway departments, tire companies, and more to help the motoring public, encourage travel, and promote products. In addition to several vendors, MapCon is famous for having bins of “bargain maps” to dig through. These maps have been donated to the club; you never know what may be hiding within.
MapCon is open during Museum hours on Friday, April 21, and from 9 am to early afternoon on Saturday. As a non-profit, the RMCA is able to accept donations of maps, so if you have a stack of maps (in good condition), you may bring them along as a donation.
