Kansas Motorcycle Museum

This museum blew me away! Lots of motorcycling history packed wall to wall and throughout the floor. I enjoyed the diversity of bikes and miscellaneous collectables. The folks here are friendly and doing a great job preserving this history. A donation of $ 7 is suggested. They also sell museum related merchandise. (Cash only).

This is a *great* little museum and is definitely worth stopping through if you are in the area. This museum holds about 100 classic, collectible, or otherwise vintage motorcycles, plus a lot of racing memorabilia, mainly from the career of Stan Engdahl, a Marquette resident who raced for several decades on dirt tracks in the area.
The museum has a couple of Stan’s motorcycles, and all of his trophies (over 600!), but it’s not just a shrine to Stan’s career — a number of vintage motorcycle collectors have placed their bikes «on loan» to the museum and there are some stunning, fully restored, rare bikes from the early 20^th century. There also are interesting displays of racing bikes from the 1960’s and 1970’s, some mini-​bikes; and quite a few old photos showing the activities of various Kansas amateur motorcycle racing clubs.
Entrance is free; a $ 5 donation is «suggested.»
I’m in the area from time to time and I definitely wish I had stopped earlier.
