The
Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum is set
conveniently in the central Ohio
Columbus suburb of Pickerington, just
off Interstate 70. The Museum is more
than just a wide range of motorcycles on
display, its goal is to tell the stories
and history of motorcycling. By virtue
of its connection with the AMA and that
organization's history, the museum
honors those who have contributed
notably to our sport – be it racers like
Dick Mann, designers like Craig Vetter,
or publishers like Floyd Clymer.

These are some of the more than 200
motorcyclists who are enshrined into the
Motorcycle Hall of Fame, one of the museum's
main galleries. A walk past the long wall
honoring them will help you conjure the sights
and sounds of these motorcycling's greats.
In
addition to the Hall of Fame, the Museum has
three major exhibition halls. Museum staff in
consultation with collectors, curators and other
experts, define exhibition topics. But the
motorcycles in the Museum are just the
beginning. Riding gear, photos, literature,
sculpture, race-track reconstructions, dioramas,
posters, awards, quality casework, graphics and
more are used to tell the stories of
motorcycling, bringing our heritage to life.
The
main exhibits are in place for about two years
to allow the greatest visitation and enjoyment.
The museum also offers smaller special interest
exhibits that change more frequently. The
museum's website
is probably your best source for information
about new and upcoming exhibits.
Museum operations are overseen by the American
Motorcycle Heritage Foundation Board of
Directors. Minutes from the board's meetings are
available online.
After you visit, drop us note and let us know
what your thought. We are always working hard to
expand and improve the programs and facilities
and want to meet you needs. |
