Be Guided Through the Evolution of American Motorcycling and Automotive History

Thurs-Mon, 10:00am-5:00pm

Admission covers a one-day experience at Wheels Through Time.

On July 4th, 2002 Wheels Through Time Museum became a reality when it opened its 38,000 square foot facility in Maggie Valley, North Carolina.  The Museum  features one of the world’s premier collections of Vintage American Transportation, guiding visitors through the evolution of American motorcycling and automotive history.  The museum has attracted worldwide media attention and brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to Maggie Valley, North Carolina from all over the globe.

Many visitors consider the displays equally as interesting as the rare machines that are within them. The museum layout is more than a timeline of machines. It has the feel of an old garage, but is touched by relevant artwork of the era and houses precious items of memorabilia by the thousands. The museum is literally a cornucopia of American history.

See an Interpretation of Life in WNC from the Earliest Inhabitants Into the 20th Century

Old Fort has long been considered a “gateway” to the Blue Ridge Mountains and was the site of the westernmost pioneer outpost in North Carolina prior to the Revolutionary War. Our exhibits, artifacts, photographs, and on-site programs interpret life in western North Carolina from the earliest inhabitants into the 20th century.

Housed in a beautiful 1936 WPA stone building on the banks of historic Mill Creek, our museum offers a number of educational programs and exhibits covering a range of topics related to all who call the 38 counties in our service district “home”.

HOURS

Mondays: CLOSED

Tuesday to Saturday: 9am to 5pm

Sundays: 2pm to 5pm

CLOSED ALL STATE HOLIDAYS

ADMISSION

Admission to the museum’s exhibits and most programs is free, however donations are appreciated. Some special exhibits and programs do have charges. Please call (828) 668-9259 for more information.

LOCATION

We’re located less than a half-mile off Interstate 40’s exit 73 in the heart of downtown Old Fort. Just minutes away from Black Mountain and less than 30 minutes from downtown Asheville. Our address is 24 Water Street, Old Fort, N.C. 28762.

TOURS

🍓 ROAD TRIP TO STRAWBERRY PICKING! 🍓

While strawberry picking in the Asheville area doesn’t typically get started until closer to Mother’s Day, thankfully for us, the strawberries in neighboring South Carolina ripen sooner, and make for a great little road trip to go pick your own! We’ve put together a list of the best, just a short distance away (in order of distance from Asheville).
