The renowned National Motorcycle Museum of Anamosa, Iowa, will close its doors for the final time this September, after decades of serving as a successful steward within the realms of historic motorcycle preservation and education. Originally founded back in 1989 and long owned and operated by passionate enthusiasts John and Jill Parham of J&P Cycles fame, the museum has been home to countless motorcycles and memorabilia items over the years. This September 6-9, its remaining 300-plus motorcycles and thousands of Road Art® items, largely from the personal collection of the late John Parham, will take to the Mecum auction block at an offering to be held on-site at the Iowa-based museum.
