2026 Golden Jubilee Highwheel Tour Update:

We are thrilled to share that we have received an update from Keith Pariani on his bike journey! The group departed from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation on Sunday, June 21, and landed at their first stop in Toledo, Ohio.

On Monday, June 22 the group departed from Toledo at 7:00 a.m., and arrived in Bellevue, Ohio at around 4:00 p.m., traveling about 62 miles. It was a tough day of travel weather wise – the morning began with some wind and rain. The rain eventually let up, but the wind continued. Keith also shared that the temperatures are chilly compared to the Florida summer heat!

Today, June 23 – Keith and his fellow Wheelmen are traveling from Bellevue to Wadsworth, which is close to 65 miles. By the end of the day today, the Wheelmen will have biked approximately 180 miles since beginning their epic trip!

EXCITING NEWS: St. Augustine bicycle aficionado Keith Pariani is embarking on an epic cycling journey! Keith will travel alongside five fellow cyclists, all members of a group called the Wheelmen. The group will depart from Greenfield Village in Michigan on June 21 and arrive at Independence Hall in Pennsylvania on July 4, covering approximately 800 miles over 14 days.

Each cyclist will ride an authentic 1880s high-wheel bicycle. Keith will be riding a 56-inch Victor High Wheel bicycle from 1889, which he has owned for more than 40 years.

This monumental journey, the Golden Jubilee Highwheel Tour 2026, honors the 50th anniversary of the Golden Jubilee Tour, a similar ride completed by 35 Wheelmen members in 1976. The journey also commemorates America’s 250th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the introduction of the bicycle in the United States. Upon arriving in Philadelphia, the Wheelmen will present a note of goodwill from the Mayor of Dearborn to the Mayor of Philadelphia—just as the original Wheelmen did in 1976.

Keith Pariani’s fascinating collection of bicycles and cycling memorabilia is on view in our second floor gallery. Riding High! Vintage Bicycles from the Keith Pariani Collection is an ongoing, rotating exhibition that celebrates the bicycle as an object of beauty and engineering ingenuity.

Follow along with us as we track Keith’s journey – stay tuned for updates!

That’s a wrap on week 1 of Summer Camp at the Lightner Museum! We had the BEST week.

🌀 The theme was Blast From the Past, and our campers participated in so many hands-on, creative activities. We dug for fossils, had a boat building competition, learned weaving, built catapults, tye dyed, made balloon rockets, and so much more!

🍦 HUGE shout out to Mayday Ice Cream for donating ice cream to our campers this summer.
