Visitor Information for the H-D Museum

IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION

Harley-Davidson has implemented enhanced safety measures for our guests due to COVID-19. Visitors must follow all posted safety notices and instructions when visiting the museum and related facilities. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people gather. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older adults and those with underlying medical conditions seem to be more vulnerable to complications resulting from COVID-19. By visiting Harley-Davidson’s museum and related facilities, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with entering the facility and release Harley-Davidson from any liability relating to exposure to COVID-19.
