Museum of the American Road

The Museum of the American Road is part of a Harley Davidson dealership in New Castle, Delaware. The museum traces information about the history of motorcycles and road trips in America. Harley Davidson was once the premier motorcycle company in the United States. Many driving cross country would plan to take out their bikes traveling along certain routes in order to reach points around the USA. Today Harley trips still occur. Those who take the trips usually begin from their homes and meet up with other riders while on the road for motorcycle festivals.

This history along with American roadside information is all found at the museum. The museum is located at Mike's Famous Harley Davidson at 2160 New Castle Avenue. Entry into the museum is free since it is part of the restaurant and dealership.

Part of the display at the museum includes photos taken from various roadside trips Harley riders have been on, including the owners of the museum. Each ride is documented in order to show Americans what goes on with the trips. Also as part of the display are vintage bikes, gear, and other items that involve Harley Davidson bikes.
