Additional Information:   

The concept of the Glidden Tour dates to December 1902, when AAA organized a cross-country automotive trek with the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis as its final destination. The inaugural event saw 77 cars embarking from New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, with 66 successfully completing the 1,350-mile journey over 18 days. The grand parade culminated on August 12, 1904, showcasing the finishers alongside local vehicles, captivating thousands of spectators.

Participants in the AAA Glidden Tour benefit from personalized attention at the local level, receiving detailed maps and insights into regional driving regulations. AAA East Central’s 24/7 Roadside Assistance team will be joining the tour to ensure all participants and their vehicles have all the support they need.

Charles J. Glidden, a prominent industrialist and automobile advocate, became synonymous with these tours after generously sponsoring subsequent events. As a result, the AAA tours evolved into what we now know as the Glidden Tours.

AAA East Central is a not-for-profit association with 69 local offices in Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia serving 2.7 million members.  News releases are available at
