Depart 1930 Broadway - June 9th

100 years ago today, Alice Ramsey departed from 1930 Broadway — and so shall we!

Presently, we will bring the car over the Queensboro bridge around 6:30 a.m. on the morning of June 9th and will be at 1930 Broadway by 7:30. Our plan is to host a small kickoff ceremony with the Ramsey family, chatting with the press for photos and filming. There will be a few send-off speeches to commemorate this historical day. Finally, at 9 a.m. Emily will crank start the car amidst the mid-town New York City morning traffic and off they go up Broadway. Thus begins our journey across the country!

Our stop in Tarrytown, NY will consist of picking up a few people/cars who will drive with us for the day and a quick photo op at the old Maxwell Briscoe Motor Co. plant (where Maxwells were built for many years). Then we will get back on the road bound for Vassar College.

We hope to arrive to Vassar around 2 p.m. where they will be hosting a reception in honor of Alice Ramsey and of course Emily and Christie! Alice Ramsey was a graduate of Vassar College in 1907 and they are proudly supporting Alice as a pioneering, innovative alumni by inviting us to their campus for a few hours. Many thanks to them! We look forward to our visit.

Afterward, we will hit the road one more time bound for our first night destination in Cobleskill, NY. to clean off the road grime and regroup to continue early the next morning where we head for Seneca Falls.

Stay tuned for more updates, photographs and even video blogs from along the route. Thanks again to everyone who has helped us get this far. We could never have done it without you.
