Deke Slayton Memorial Space and Bike Museum

4000 artifacts chronically the evolution of the bicycle along with space memorabilia from Deke Slayton's collection are found here. Plus there is a collection of aviation gear from Monroe County. The slogan of the museum is 'From Sprockets to Rockets.'

If you go:
Be sure to watch the vintage (1960's) bike safety film 'One Got Fat', which the museum screens regularly. As even the staff will tell you, it's a priceless and unintentionally amusing gem of training film schlock, with a rather macabre approach to warning kids to ride their bikes responsibly.
