To Record Breaking 2015

heels Through Time would
like to send out a big
“Thank You” to all of our
visitors, friends, and family for helping make 2014 our best year yet! Last
year, we had the pleasure of hosting
over 120,000 visitors through our
doors — the action was non-stop, and
each and every person that made us a
destination lent a hand in our success.
“What’s In The Barn?” is back for a
3rd on Velocity TV, chasing Dale and
Matt across the country in search of
rare and historic machines for display
inside the museum. This season, Dale
heads south to Texas for one of the
World’s biggest swapmeets then to
Michigan for a high-class automotive
show that brings him back to the
previous home of one of the world’s
rarest motorcycles. They chase down
uncertain lead in North Georgia to a
“Bike House”, and are blown away at
what they find! Eight more episodes
begin airing in late spring. A new
“What’s in the Barn?” Exhibit will also
be opening in May of 2015, showcasing many of the finds from season 3!
The museum is always thinking of
new ways to continue making experiences of our visitors better each year.

machine — the 2016 WTT Raffle Bike,
to be raffled of in November 2016.
Construction has already begun, and
we’ll be relying on you to get this one
ready for the road.
WTT is also planning a gala fundraiser
for The Home Depot Foundation, whose
mission is to improve the homes and
lives of our U.S. military veterans and
their families. The museum has long
been a supporter of all of our veterans,
and looks to expand that support this
2015. All proceeds from the event will
benefit the Foundation, who spends
