Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame, Transport museum and motorcycling heritage center in Sturgis, United States.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum & Hall of Fame holds nearly 100 historic motorcycles, the oldest dating to 1907, shown in the former post office at Main Street and Junction Avenue. Vintage and rare machines were loaned for the June 2001 opening by national and local collectors. Its Hall of Fame recognizes people and groups who contributed to motorcycling over the long term.
The museum opened its doors in June 2001 in an old church renovated with help from the Board of Directors, the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club, local students and other volunteers. After a year of successful operation, the City of Sturgis provided a new facility at Main Street and Junction Avenue, a building that had served as the community's post office for over 60 years.
The Hall of Fame recognises individuals or groups who have made a long-term positive contribution to the motorcycle community, honouring those who shaped the sport and the lifestyle. The museum also keeps the heritage of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in Sturgis, South Dakota.
The museum is easy to navigate and the collection can be explored in one to two hours, whether you are visiting quickly or spending more time as a motorcycle enthusiast. The spaces are well-lit and comfortable to walk through, with information provided at each display.
The museum's first home was an old church, renovated from 2001 with help from the Jackpine Gypsies Motorcycle Club, local students and other Sturgis volunteers. Vintage and rare motorcycles for the opening were loaned by national and local collectors.
