The Vintage Motorcycle Museum is an appointment only museum in Chehalis, Washington.[1] The collection, founded in 1979 by retired building contractor Frank Mason,[2] includes pre-1916 motorcycles, photographs and memorabilia.[1] Mason and his wife Barbara bought and renovated the historic 1889 Washington Hotel building in Chehalis after it burned in 1997, and moved the collection there.[3]
