About Us

Heartland Classics, a chapter of The Antique and Classic Boat Society, Inc. (ACBS), is an organization dedicated to the collection, restoration and safe enjoyment of antique and classic boats. Established in 1993, the club’s membership is drawn from America’s Heartland including Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. Our membership is comprised of both individuals and families with a real interest in classic boats. Many own one or more classic or antique boats manufactured with aluminum, steel, fiberglass or wood hulls by some of yesteryear’s breed of craftsmen.

The goal of the chapter is to promote the preservation and enjoyment of antique, classic and special interest watercraft of all types, both powered and non-powered by:

  • Promoting public display & use of our boats.
  • Acting as an information & skill resource.
  • Providing social activities to members & families.
  • Acting as historical repository for boating related information.
  • Providing value with merchandise & service discounts, technical workshops & subject matter experts.

Membership is fun, informational, and all designed to support our love and appreciation of classic boats. You can find out more about us, or how you can become a member, on our Join Us page.
