From its roots as the original automotive collection of Harold & Nancy LeMay, started in the 1960′s, the LeMay Collections at Marymount is an expression of the continued growth of the LeMay Collections and a desire from the community to preserve the history and stories of the Collections for future generations to enjoy and learn from.  The LeMay Collections include over 1,500 vintage vehicles,  a wide variety of Americana and memorabilia (dolls, toys, antiques, farm equipment, vintage radios, etc.), a Rodin Sculpture Garden and much more.  Much of the Collections are hosted on the historic grounds of former Marymount Military Academy in Tacoma, WA.  Today, the LeMay Collections operate as a non-profit dedicated to the preservation, education, exhibition, and community engagement.  Each year we proudly host the LeMay Annual Show, several benefit events dedicated to helping maintain the collections, as well as community events such as our free Trunk-or-Treat Halloween event.  The LeMay Collections at Marymount are open year-round for guests to experience our tours, and are also available for private events.
