The International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame & Museum features restored antique wreckers and equipment from the tow truck industry. Located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the museum also displays related toys, tools, equipment, and pictorial histories.[1]

The first tow truck was created about 3.5 miles (6 km) away from the museum at the Ernest Holmes Company in Chattanooga. The collection of tow trucks at the museum ranges from the early days of the automobile and includes miscellaneous antique toys and memorabilia.

The International Towing and Recovery Museum was dedicated in October 1995 and is a non-profit organization.
