A Bit of Jeep History…
Building Legends for 85 years! Come celebrate the Jeep brand with it’s 85 years of capability, innovation, and underlying sense of adventure!
Jeep is fundamental to Toledo, Ohio heritage. In 1941, Willys-Overland won a significant United States Military contract to design the Willys MB, a four-wheel drive utility vehicle that was manufactured throughout World War II.
Today, Toledo is the only place in the world making the iconic Jeep Wrangler. The Toledo Assembly Complex is one of the region’s largest and most modern manufacturing plants. For 85 years, Jeep has been touching the lives of Toledoans and Jeep Enthusiasts around the world.
We’re excited to celebrate that rich history and the Jeep brand with the Annual Hocking Hills Jeep Run!
