==History==
The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a site in the Menomonee Valley.〔 The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson's purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt.〔(High on the hog ), ''My Midwest Magazine'', Retrieved on June 29, 2009〕 A layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state.
In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled.〔(New Work: Harley-Davidson Museum ), ''Pentagram'', Retrieved on June 30, 2009〕 The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram.〔(Disciples of Harley-Davidson Get Their Church ), ''New York Times Wheels Blog'', Retrieved on July 10, 2009〕 Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum's permanent exhibitions.

On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel.〔(A Museum Goes HOG Wild ), ''Growing Bolder'', Retrieved on June 30, 2009. "Attendees were given clear vial key chains to keep some of the dirt as a keepsake. The burnout was followed by U2's Beautiful Day blasting from the speakers.
