Sturgis Motorcycle Museum Set To Expand

Sturgis, South Dakota, is perhaps best known for the annual
motorcycle rally that bears its name, but the town also offers
enthusiasts a piece of history. The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and
Hall of Fame offers visitors a look back at the history of
motorcycles and some of the luminaries involved. Clutch and Chrome
reports the museum recently decided to expand from its current
home.
Since 2002, the museum has been housed in the town's old Post
Office on Main Street in Sturgis. A piece of property directly next
door recently came up for sale, and museum executives made the
decision to purchase the land with the intent of expanding the
site's offerings.
"The Board of the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum has been working and
planning for a long time to try to find the right way to expand the
museum and offer visitors a better experience," Dave Davis, board
president, told the news source. "We had the opportunity to
purchase this property, which will allow us to plan for expansion
in our current location - right on the corner of Main Street and
Junction Avenue - the absolute center of the Sturgis Motorcycle
Rally."
The museum's collection dates all the way back to 1907 and the new
building will allow the owners to display more motorcycles.
