Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum Visit

Tuesday — April 28, 2026

I only posted a small amount of the pictures I took while at the motorsports museum. The museum was well worth the visit and I recommend visiting it if you are ever in the area.  I've included a YouTube video created by the Garage Sport Labs YouTube Channel which shows most all of the motorsports museum.

The inside of the museum was amazing. The collection brought back a lot of memories, especially the motorcycles from the 1970s. Several of the displays reminded me of motorcycles that friends and I owned or wanted during those years.
