Opens Oct. 1; Closes TBD

The Flying Merkel brand of motorcycles was produced in Philadelphia and Ohio from around 1910 to 1916. The motorcycles, with their distinctive orange color were popular; however, high prices, competition from Ford’s Model T and World War I, put the company out of business. The motorcycle is now on display in connection with the museum’s “America on the Move” exhibition.
