International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum

Why Your Legacy Matters

The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum preserves the people, equipment, innovation, and stories that built the industry. Through the Survivor Fund, the Museum also stands behind families when a towing or recovery professional loses their life in the line of service. A legacy gift lets you carry those values forward for the next generation.
