Wheels Through Time Museum to have special opening

The Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley is celebrating its first special weekend opening of 2012.

The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Feb. 3-5, and will hold demonstrations and exhibitions of various new machines on display.

The museum closed for the 2011 season in November. Since then the staff has been enhancing the overall museum experience for its visitors with new and expanded displays. The museum has also added to its interpretational signage, and in mid-April a new Smartphone component is being introduced. The phone app features a QR (quick response) code that links visitors to the museums vast library of video content on hundreds of the rare and historic machines housed within the facility.  

Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley features one of the largest collections of vintage American motorcycles in the world, and most or the motorcycles still run. The museum’s collection also includes many classic automobiles.

The museum officially opens for the 2012 season on March 29.
