A Ravenna couple turned their lifelong passion into a motorcycle museum for all to enjoy

- Jeremy Brown

The history of motorcycles is on display in Ravenna at Bear’s Vintage Motorcycle and Memorabilia Museum.

The owners, Bear and his wife Sharon, opened the museum in 2021 in the old steam flour mill at 408 W. Main St. But they’ve been occupying the space since 2007, when they opened Bear’s Vintage Metalworks, a business that sold new and used Harley Davidson parts.
