Exhibits in Action series will be highlighting Wallace Van Sandt & the military, as part of the 'This is Me: Bikes, Gears & The Stories They Tell' special exhibit.
Harley‑Davidson Museum Exhibits in Action brings the galleries to life through interactive, hands‑on activities designed to spark curiosity and turn every visit into an adventure. Guests are invited to explore dynamic stations and discover highlighted artifacts that offer meaningful connections to the stories on display. Blending participation with reflection, these activations provide a fresh and memorable way for guests of all ages to experience the museum.
For this session, we’ll focus on Wallace Van Sandt and his beloved 1941 Harley‑Davidson WLD that carried him across thousands of miles before he enlisted, and how his story—culminating in his service as a tail gunner aboard a B‑17 during World War II—became a powerful symbol of youthful freedom, wartime sacrifice, and the deep emotional ties riders form with their machines.
This program is included with the purchase of a GA Museum ticket.
