Whether for past attendees reminiscing about a trip to
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or bikers looking forward to
visiting the small South Dakota town so closely associated
to motorcycles, the nonprofit Sturgis Motorcycle Museum &
Hall of Fame is now active online.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame's
website has been reworked
featuring interactive elements and new design include a
listing of all the motorcycles, dating to 1905.
The history of the museum dates back to 2001 when a joint
effort by the Museum's Board of Directors, the Jackpine
Gypsies Motorcycle Club, local students and members of the
Sturgis community renovated an old church building the
create the museum.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall
of Fame opened its doors to the public on June 1,
2001. Local and national collectors loaned the new Museum a
selection of vintage and rare V-twin and metric motorcycles,
offering visitors a glimpse into the magnificent world of
two wheels.
The Museum has continued to grow, opening its lower level
in August, 2003. With several exhibit rooms and an
increasingly impressive selection of unique motorcycles, the
Sturgis Motorcycle Museum offers a world class experience
for visitors and has been listed as one of the 10,000 Places
to See Before You Die by author Patricia Schultz.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame in downtown
Sturgis is open year-round, seven days a week.
