Default Bill's Old Bike Barn

A hidden gem in N. Central PA. I live less than a hundred miles away from it. I knew of it, and have been by it a hundred times, but never stopped until yesterday. Outstanding! What a cool place. Not just a motorcycle museum ---- it's a building full of nostalgia. Everything from old bikes to WWII to old fire trucks to a room full of almost every telephone that was ever made! A great day trip if you're within a couple hundred miles of Berwick PA. It's right at the Berwick/Route 11 exit of Interstate 80. A few of us were there for well over an hour, and I know I'll have to go back to see what I missed.

For GP I looked it up ( https://www.billsbikebarn.com/ ) only a 40 hr ride
Some day I will get to that part of the country.
I will add it to my list of places to see.

mskirwin, I remember seeing that bike! The car was parked on the right, at the top of the driveway yesterday. You could look out the passenger window, and see the Bill"s Old Bike Barn sign. It's a great place.

Go to Bandit Roadhouse for lunch (About 2 miles north of Bill's on Rt 11) Hogs Hollow for dinner ( About 5-6 miles on Rt 93 south) and stay at the Motel 6 ( just south of the Rt 11 and Interstate 80)
