The remarkable success of Harley-Davidson may be explained by one of the basic business tenets of former Chairman and CEO Rich Teerlink, who has written in his book, More Than a Motorcycle, ". . . people are a company's only sustainable competitive advantage."

The Harley-Davidson Motor
Company began life in a 10-by-15 foot shed in 1903. Today – a century later – it
is not only the world's longest-surviving motorcycle company, but has become an
internationally recognized brand and a symbol of success and recovery in American
business.
Heroes of Harley-Davidson, now owned and displayed by A.D. Farrow
Co., Columbus, Ohio, tells the story of those people; the many individuals whose
genius, dedication, and service to the marque and the motorcycle sport have carried
the Harley-Davidson Motor Company through a century of growth to an astonishingly
high level of success.
So
we invite you to enter the small shed where it all began a century ago, then meet
the founders and the hundreds of other heroes who have contributed to Harley-Davidson's
greatness. While this exhibit endeavors to acknowledge the many women and men who
have contributed to Motor Company's success, it is impossible to recognize them
all, including millions of Harley-Davidson fans and customers.
