Deke Slayton Space and Bike Museum in Sparta, Wisconsin
Yep. You read that right. Space & Bike Museum. Located in Sparta, Wisconsin (Deke’s home town). They seem to have a high-pressure suit of some kind (maybe a Mercury space suit?) on display and some other artifacts. I’m trying to find out more.
In the meantime, you can call ahead: 1-888-200-5302 or 1-608-269-0033
I have created the Official website for the Museum. Kay – the director is providing pictures and Donna – one of the volunteers is busy updating the site. Please take a look. More is being added every day.
Thanks!
I’d like to remind visitors to this website to check out the Deke Slayton museum site directly!
