Join us at Wheels Through Time for the museum's third Veterans Salute of the season this Labor Day Weekend.

From Thursday-Monday, September 2-6, Wheels Through Time will be paying tribute to veterans and both active and retired service members by offering complimentary museum admission and an honorary two-year museum memberships to those who have served our country.  The museum will also be giving away 500 free American flags throughout the weekend..

The museum's first two "Veterans Salutes" were an outstanding success, as the museum hosted over 600 veterans and active service members over Memorial Day and July 4th Weekends.

Wheels Through Time, which houses over 320 All-American machines, each in running and operating condition, will be holding demonstrations and exhibitions of many of America's rarest two- and four-wheeled vehicles throughout the weekend. Many rare and historic American military machines will be featured, including motorcycles used by American troops dating all the way back to 1917.

"We were honored and proud to open our doors to those who have fought, and continue to fight for American freedom and extend our deepest gratitude for the sacrifices they've made," said museum curator, Dale Walksler. "It is our way of saying 'thank you' for serving our great country."

Also on display at Wheels Through Time this weekend will be the museum's two 1915 Harley-Davidson "Motorcycle Cannonball Run" entries. The first ever coast-to-coast endurance race for motorcycles made prior to 1916, the Motorcycle Cannonball will head from Kitty Hawk, NC to Santa Monica, CA beginning September 10th. Curator Dale Walksler has specially rebuilt two 1915 Harley-Davidson's for the 3300-mile ride, each of which will be fired up regularly for visitors this weekend.

On September 12, over 65 Motorcycle Cannonball entrants, including Walksler and teammate Wayne Stanfield will head to Wheels Through Time as the Cannonball Run descends into Maggie Valley for an overnight stop. Riders are expected to begin arriving at approximately 4p.m., and each of the 1915 and earlier machines in the race will be on display for visitors to enjoy.
