AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Offers Free Admission on Sept. 28

The American Motorcyclist Association Motorcycle Hall of Fame in Ohio will open its doors free of charge on Saturday, September 28, 2013, as part of Smithsonian magazine’s ninth annual Museum Day. The nationwide event, “Museum Day Live!,” offers free admission to visitors presenting a Museum Day Live! ticket at a participating museum or cultural institution.

“Motorcycling’s rich heritage is something that all motorcyclists are proud of, and we are excited to share our nation’s two-wheeled story with all the members of our community as well as Smithsonian magazine readers and smithsonian.com visitors on Sept. 28,” said AMA Vice President of Operations Jeff Massey. “The stories of the amazing men and women who have defined our sport, lifestyle and business are exciting and inspiring. We’re looking forward to showcasing these stories for all-comers during Museum Day Live!”

The event represents Smithsonian’s commitment to make learning and the spread of knowledge accessible to everyone, giving museums across all 50 states the opportunity to emulate the admission policy of the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C. Last year’s event drew more than 400,000 participants nationwide, and this year’s event expects record-high participation.
