HISTORY

In October of 1903, a group of 34 vehicles set out from Weehawken, NJ with the goal of traversing 850 miles to Pittsburgh, PA, for the1903 Automobile Endurance Run. The route included a section through what is now the Southern Tier and included Tioga County, NY. The inspiration for this drive came from research done by local enthusiasts and historians on the 1903 event.
