A lot of unique history in this museum . We were met outside on arrival by one of the owners Kelly Modlin . A group of 20 of us rode up from Tulsa to go to this museum . Once inside , Kelly started up a rare piece of history for us , a 1923 Henderson 3 wheeler . The only one known to exist . It's 4 cylinder engine sounded like an airplane !

Read moreThis is the best small motorcycle museum in North America hands down.‼️ The antique motorcycles housed in the museum are not only stunning works of art, but they all run (a rarity for these type museums) And the owner, Kelly Modlin, is such a great guy and rightly very proud of these gems on two wheels.
