The Harley-Davidson Museum announces plans to reshape its campus
With two all-new retail stores, a greatly enhanced Experience Gallery and a soon-to-be-completed year-round event building, the H-D Museum aims to solidify Milwaukee’s rep as the motorcycle mecca.
MILWAUKEE, USA (Feb. 22, 2022) – We told you we were going to rev it up in 2022. With travel and tourism set to come roaring back, the Harley-Davidson Museum is announcing plans to enrich the campus-wide experiences that can only be found at the crossroads of 6th & Canal – both for riders and non-riders alike.
Since 2008, the H-D Museum’s 20-acre campus has been a must-do destination for guests from around the globe who have soaked up memories that will last a lifetime. Anniversary celebrations, rallies, Bike Nights and special events have made the H-D Museum™ campus one of Milwaukee’s top attractions for millions of people. And beginning later this year, the H-D Museum aims to give guests even more reasons to put Milwaukee on their “must visit” list.
The H-D Museum has also begun work on the transformation of its retail footprint. In the coming months, the current Shop will pack up its Harley-Davidson Museum-branded merchandise, authentic reproductions, accessories, and gifts and move across the street to the former Garage. The move will allow The Shop to expand to more than triple its current size and give tourists and H-D enthusiasts even more options when it comes to bringing home a piece of Harley-Davidson history.
The new Harley-Davidson Shop will offer more than 150 new products and many new unique experiences – including demos on Serial 1 e-bikes for grown-ups and complimentary spins on IRONe™ electric balance bikes for the kiddos. After that ride of a lifetime, you’ll be able to purchase a Serial 1 or IRONe on the spot. And since customization has been a hallmark of Harley-Davidson for decades, you will also have the opportunity to create your own one-of-a-kind items that stand out from the crowd.
Once the new Harley-Davidson Shop is in place, the former Shop space will become Harley-Davidson’s first-and-only Factory Shop to offer discontinued Motorclothes products – including helmets, gloves, jackets and more – in limited quantities and sizes. The two locations will encompass more than 13,000 square feet of Harley-Davidson premium retail experience.
“For nearly 15 years, we have been thrilled to welcome guests from around the globe,” said Bill Davidson, great-grandson of one of Harley-Davidson’s four founders and Vice President of the H-D Museum. “This investment signifies our commitment to Milwaukee and the Menomonee Valley. With Milwaukee making its mark on the global stage, we’re excited to unveil these new additions to campus later this spring and welcome everyone to check them out in person.”
