"Wheels" Honors Our Nations Military

During the entire month of July, the Museum will be honoring the countless men and women who have served our country both past and present.  We have always been honored to have this diverse group of individuals as guests to the museum, and this month, we'll be paying tribute to each and every member of our armed services by offering free admission to them and their families.   And when better to do it than during the month of our nation's birthday! 

We've had thousands of veterans and active duty members through the museum over the past six years, and when they visit, I try to spend as much time as possible sharing the collection with them.  There is much to be learned from those who have come before us and from those who have fought so hard for the country we love so much, and by sharing the collection at Wheels Through Time, we hope to bring back some of those fond memories from days gone by. 

We've got a great military exhibit here at the museum, lined with machines and memorabilia from as early as the 19-teens.  We keep each and every machine in the exhibit in working order, and ready to fire up for the first person who asks.  This month, we'll be giving daily demonstrations of each of these machines, ranging from a 1917 Harley-Davidson U.S. Army Messenger Pigeon Carrier to a 1941 Harley-Davidson TA -- a shaft-driven knucklehead military three-wheeler.  Another particular favorite is the 1942 Harley-Davidson XA, an opposed twin-cylinder shaft-drive machine built for the North African desert. 

So if your a veteran, and active duty member, or just a good old-fashioned patriot like me, be sure to stop by Wheels Through Time for Military Month.  I know that you'll be astounded.

See you soon!
