Historical Motorcycle Museum

This is one of the best motorcycle museums in the country. The museum consists of all American made motorcycles from mostly the early years. There’s a whole days worth of bikes to see and hear. There’s guides walking around the museum that will answer any of your questions and on occasion they’ll even start some of the bikes as this is a museum in which almost every bike is still in running condition which is great. I brought in a picture from my grandfathers old Indian motorcycle not knowing what year it was and they were able to tell me it was a 1931 Indian V4 which was amazing. So many beautiful, historic and rare bikes that you’d have to see it to believe it. If you love motorcycles or just transportation just history for that matter then I highly recommend coming here for a visit.

Awesome place for motorcycle fans
This is a really awesome place. We visited in September and the weather was rainy but not too cold. It is a really cool motorcycle museum that takes you back through time with motorcycles from older years. The place is huge and lots of stuff to take in. Plan for a full day. They also auction off a motorcycle each year.

Polished Niche Museum
While I know nothing about motorcycles or their history, I do like niche museums. So I drove out to Wheels Through Time to check out this well-reviewed attraction. The entry fee is $15 with enough to keep you busy for an hour or two. The museum is pretty large and contains mostly older model motorcycles, but they also have a few newer ones and wheeled conveyances that are not motorcycles. The presentation of the collection is pretty polished and the displays looked well cared for. There were some signs that made sense to me and some that meant nothing to me. None of the signs are overly dense like some museums. Wheels Through Time also has employees walking around that will answer questions and tell stories. It's worth finding one of these people when they are telling a story to illustrate the history a little better. I heard/read they occasionally fire up a motorcycle or take someone for a spin. This didn't happen while I was there, but it definitely would've added to the visit. The museum requires masks but no one in the museum, employees included, wear them. I would recommend this for motorcycle lovers or curious people passing through.
