The Friends of Auburn Heights are the stewards of the car collection housed in the Marshall Steam Museum at Auburn Heights Preserve. The silent auction and raffle this year raised about $28,000.

The educational fund strives to make the Marshall Steam Museum and Auburn Heights a hands on history lesson for local children. The fourth annual event, benefited the Joseph Boxler Education Fund, which supports the children’s programs at the Marshall Steam Museum. Also featured was the only vehicle to attend all four years of the invitational: A 1918 Cadillac Type 57, seven passenger touring car owned by Irene du Pont Jr. A crowd of more than 600 visitors and 50 volunteers, admired the seven limousines and landaulet automobiles, as well as thirteen other historic cars on display.Ī 1912 Packard Model 18 Landaulet, a 1932 Lincoln Model KB V12 Limousine, and a 1934 Lincoln Berline Model K Limousine were popular with the crowd. This year’s event featured early examples of limousines and landaulets.ĭisplayed on the sprawling lawns of Auburn Heights, the original examples of chauffeured automobiles blended in with the historic nature of the estate. > The Auburn Heights Preserve, home of the Marshall Steam Museum was the backdrop Sunday for The Auburn Heights Invitational Historic Automobile Display. Also, in collaboration with the Boshell Diabetes and Metabolic Disease Program, the Center studies causes and treatment of feline obesity, which affects > 10% of the cat population.YORKLYN, DEL. Next-generation therapies for lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and other cancers are in development. Molecular contraceptive methods are being devised to reduce the number of stray and feral animals, thereby avoiding euthanasia of thousands of healthy animals each year. In addition to developing therapies for inherited neurologic disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease, the Center prevented these disorders from decimating the European Burmese and Korat breeds through a screening program in US and international catteries, some of which had carrier rates of approximately 25%. Four distinct areas make up the core of the Center’s research efforts: neurologic diseases, companion animal contraception, cancer therapeutics, and feline obesity. Eleanor Ritchey, the Center emphasizes molecular approaches to improving companion animal health. Similarly, both animals and people benefit from our patented plasmapheresis technology in a novel equine platform that generates raw material for medical countermeasures of value to the US Strategic National Stockpile.įounded in the 1980s from generous gifts by Mr. Rabies initiatives at Auburn include antibody titer measurement in pets, USDA-sponsored surveillance programs in wildlife, and development of gene therapy for patients with symptomatic rabies encephalitis. Dogs, cats, and other animals (including humans) are the targets of our research on rabies virus, which still kills untold numbers of animals and over 60,000 people/year worldwide. Companion animals have long benefitted from our work on vector-borne pathogens such as heartworms, and cattle health has been improved through extensive study of bovine viral diarrhea virus. Important poultry disorders such as Newcastle disease and avian influenza are under investigation by the Animal Health and Agro-/Bio-Defense (AHAD) program, developed with $6.5 million of support in partnership with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and scientists at the US National Poultry Research Center. Many animal species benefit from long-standing research and surveillance programs for infectious diseases.
