Model T club visits Dubois County
Wednesday morning, a group of about 69 folks representing nine different states gathered in front of the Clarion Point in Jasper. Heads bowed, they prayed for safety and fun for the trip and tour of the St. Meinrad Archabbey.
You might see them around the area over the next few days, touring the area in their Model A and Model T cars. Organizer Tom Moorehead said they have 29 cars, all over 100 years old, that will head out daily to visit area attractions.
He’s from Louisville and has been organizing this group for about 20 years now. They meet for a tour every other year, and this year they chose Indiana because one of the couples is from here. They liked Jasper because the Clarion Point parking lot could hold all their trailers.
Moorehead said they have a lot of fun touring in the cars together. Driving a hundred-year-old car attracts attention. They enjoy the curious questions and will offer rides for those interested.
The next few days are also about the large group getting together.
“The cars bring us together but our friendships are what keep us coming back,” he said.
