In preparation for the opening of our new exhibit, "Home of the Hog: Marion's Motorcycle Legacy" this Friday, we're sharing newspaper highlights showcasing the hoopla and hullabaloo around the 1919 & 1920 Cornfield Classic race. 🏍️🐖

This article from September 5, 1920 in Marion's Leader-Tribune shares the story of the curly-tailed pig owned by Ray Weishaar, winner of the 1920 Cornfield Classic Race. Following his big win, Weishaar took a victory lap with the piglet (later named Johnny). This is how Harley-Davidson bikes came to be called "hogs," a nickname that continues today!

"Home of the Hog: Marion's Motorcycle Legacy" was created by the Indiana Motorcycle Preservation Society (IMPS). IMPS aims to preserve, honor, and celebrate the rich motorcycling history of Indiana. You can learn more about their work at indianamps.org.
