Ready to rumble - One potato, two potato . . . The countdown
has begun for the grand opening of Milwaukee ’s newest
industrial-strength showplace, the Harley–Davidson Museum .
Even if the first thought that comes to your mind when you
think of a hog is a pork chop, a trip to Milwaukee ’s newest
museum is likely to give you a surprising kick start.
The Harley-Davidson Museum is everything you'd expect and
more in a showplace fondly assembled by the proud, 105-year-
old Milwaukee manufacturing company that can make burly,
grizzled men practically mist up when they hear the distinctive
rumble of its engines. The museum, a mere one or two potatoes
south of downtown, makes for a fun visit. There's plenty to see
and touch via a number of cool, interactive displays. The grand
opening is Saturday.
Originally, the plan was to put this museum in the Park East
corridor. Truth is, it fits so much better here, on 20 reclaimed
acres in the Menomonee Valley , at one time the industrial
backbone of blue-collar Milwaukee . Once, the valley was a
gritty place of rail yards, stockyards, rendering plants and other
hard-core industries, a place you went to only if you had to. But
gritty's given way to green.
Folks still come to the valley to make their living, due in no small
part to new employers like pizza maker Palermo Villa Inc., But
thanks to the expanded Potawatomi Bingo Casino and now the
Harley-Davidson Museum , the valley is also a bona fide tourist
destination. That double duty shows Milwaukee does indeed
have an economic future, even beyond downtown's boundaries. s.
Back to the museum: Its imposing, heavily functional exterior
and interior design lets you know immediately this isn't
industrial chic, but like a Harley itself, the genuine article. The
museum includes two restaurants, meeting space and a gift shop.
Besides a collection of vintage, contemporary and famous
Harleys, including the one a young singer named Elvis Presley
purchased in 1956, the museum also features a mother lode of
fascinating memorabilia that underscores the link between this
Milwaukee company and the history of this nation.
Not forgotten is the allure of bikes and especially Harleys to
restless young men in the 1950s, many of them World War II
vets, some of whom went on to form motorcycle gangs.
But that image no more defines a Harley than a brat defines
Milwaukee . Starting Saturday, you can find out for yourself.
