Located in the historical 1898 Michigan Central Railroad Depot in downtown Three Oaks, Michigan, the Bicycle Museum and Information Center is home to several antique and classic bicycles, information on the history of cycling, history of the city of Three Oaks, and railroad equipment, including a replica of the telegraph room that formerly occupied the train station. The tracks alongside the museum are still in service for Amtrak passenger trains, with high-speed train service from Detroit to Chicago planned for the near future. (The Amtrak trains do not stop in Three Oaks; the nearest stop is in Niles.)

Here is a view of some of the bicycles on display. Between the doors is a display of collector cards, showing many different bicycles, from British cigarettes; a card was put in each pack many decades ago.

The museum also has Apple Cider Century and Three Oaks Spokes club applications, brochures for the Backroads Bikeways and Outback Trails, bicycle rentals, sales of T-shirts (including leftover A.C.C. shirts from previous years) 'mementos' of Three Oaks, regional bike tour information, maps, and tourism brochures.

The Bicycle Museum is open daily from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; call ahead on weekdays, as it may not be open when the weather is unfavorable for bicycling. Use our new Toll- Free number, 1-888-877-2068, or (269) 756-3361 for local callers. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. You may write to:
