70 years ago, in 1956, the IMS Museum was born at the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road in the first IMS administrative building. Take a look back in time at these photos from the '50s and '60sβ€”you'll notice many of the cars and artifacts are still on display now.

🧡 of our incredible visit to @IMSMuseum The interactive section where you can test your pit crew, strategy, and driving skills was the most fun I think I've ever had at a museum (and yes I did change the tire faster than kidlet)
