Last night a tornado ripped through 12 to 15 miles of Effingham, Illinois. Effingham is home to MY Garage Museum, which I featured multiple times over the years.
MY stands for Mike Yager, who is the founder of the collection which displayed some beautiful Corvettes. Unfortunately, this statement from Mike Yager is crushing.
“It is my understanding that the LastC4, the C5 Alpha and Beta Corvettes, CERV4b, 1st NCM C5R box Corvette, 1949 VW cutaway, all collectibles, complete Illinois Central Railroad collection including original handwritten 1851 land grand and original corporate records books were destroyed.”
My heart goes out to Mike, his family and everyone involved with the museum. I reached out to Mike to offer any support I can, and you can do the same if you’d like.
I hate to have to be the bearer of bad news. This is the first museum closure I’ve had to announce because of such a devastating circumstance.
I hope you had an opportunity to visit before it was too late. Unfortunately, I did not, but in this case I am just glad no human life was lost.
MY Garage Museum’s website is down, but they do have a Facebook Page you can follow.
