A beautiful sun shining day brought over a thousand visitors to the museum
with two and four wheelers alike. It was a day of discovery for all. Repeat
visitors discovered the new sign that graces our entrance. New displays,
new exhibits, and new machines complimented a variety of artists work that
will be displayed for the 2017 season!
The David Uhl Exhibit
David Uhl was our headliner with 27 of his glorious works illuminated in
the center floor of the museum. Davids display, “Glorifying American
Motorized History”, shares the glamor of man and his machine although women
play a major role in his
artwork as well. Come visit The Wheels Through Time or visit Uhl Studios
to see some of Davids masterpieces!

capture the essence of the timeless Wheels Through Time motorcycles and
exhibits! Jims prints can be ordered in a variety of different types

Bruce Tratlor visited the museum years ago and took a few pictures and
shared them with our gift shop. It didn’t take long for his art to appear
